Hometown : Snohomish, WA

Activities : In my free time I like to hang out with friends, play sports, watch movies, and do Martial arts. Last year I was also part of the villa drum squad and a committee member of Relay for Life.

Favorite Professor : Professor Todd Easton. I really learned a lot from him.

Favorite Class : Microeconomics

Favorite Commons Meal : Chicken wraps

Why I Chose UP : I choose UP for three reasons. The first reason was because my sister was attending the school and we are really close. I wanted to be able to go to the same college as her. The second reason was for the academics and the student to teacher ratio. I really liked the small class scenario and the fact that I could actually have a personal relationship with my professors and not just be another face in a crowd. The third reason was that it just felt like the place I should be. When I walked onto the campus I felt at home.

Favorite Thing About UP : My favorite things about UP are the people and the opportunities that it gives you. Within the first month, I became very close with many of my hall mates. Just in that first month I had developed stronger friendships with them then I did with people in four years of high school. Also UP gives its students many fun opportunities such as their many study abroad programs (this year I will be studying in Salzburg, Austria all school year) and internships to major companies for Business majors. It is a great place to learn and have tons of fun adventures.

Advice for Prospective Students : APPLY AND COME AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will love it.
