Saint Michael's College

Program: Language and Linguisitics/French

Hometown: Winooski, VT

Testimonial: I think the level of familiarity and friendliness that students have with staff and faculty at Saint Mike's makes this place very different from other colleges, even colleges of similar size.

What's it like to live in Burlington, Vermont? It's nice to be in such close proximity to Burlington because it's such a great city for a college student. Pretty much anything you would ever want to do, Burlington has got it. I really like that there are many locally-owned businesses; you don't feel inundated by national chains, so it gives the city a unique feel.

What was a favorite class at Saint Michael's? I absolutely enjoyed my first-year seminar, Off the Grid. It was an eye-opening experience and allowed me to get to know many of my peers because it was very discussion-oriented.

Have you had any internship or study abroad experiences? I'll be going to New Zealand next spring, which I am very excited about!

What do you like to do outside of the classroom? Skiing, going to plays and concerts, hiking, reading, and hanging out in downtown Burlington
