Gustavus Adolphus College

I was involved in band, orchestra, marching band, and debate in high school. My most interesting opportunity was to march in the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena on New Year's Day with the marching band my sophomore year.

My Mom works at Augustana College in Sioux Falls so I get tuition reduction at any Lutheran School. I chose Gustavus because some of my friends from high school in the grade above me said they enjoyed it, and my cousin said he loved it here.

I spend most of my time in Olin working on physics. I also enjoy going to Hockey, and Soccer games because a lot of my friends are in the sports.

Almost any physics lab is incredible when you can use the formula you have been working weeks to understand to predict what the outcome of an action will be and then preform that action in the lab.

Beef burrito, but instead of the hot sauce they use, I snag some of the sirachi sauce from the Chinese line.

The only way that you can survive in physics is to have a close relationship to your professors. Due to the class sizes you get to know them well and spend a decent amount of time in their office.

Biking across the world.

Chill out, no decision is final and you can always transfer to a different college. Give Gustavus a try though, you won’t find a more inviting or interesting campus.

I love showing up at a soccer game with twenty other people cheering our friends to victory.
