Saint Michael's College

Program: Economics

Hometown: Scituate, MA

Testimonial: It's incredible how accessible the professors are at Saint Mike's. I don't think you can get that type of one-on-one relationship at larger universities. Many Saint Mike's professors like to eat lunch with their students, and some professors have given me their home/cell phone numbers so I can get in touch with them at any time with questions.

What's it like to live in Burlington, Vermont? Burlington is small enough to feel safe and you can easily find your way around. There is always plenty to do. Church Street is lined with a lot of great shops and restaurants and there are many college students from the surrounding schools to meet. Burlington an exciting city set on beautiful Lake Champlain.

What was a favorite class at Saint Michael's? Money and Banking with Professor Carvellas was a great class. Everything we learned could be applied to things you see everyday. It sort of brought economics and the real world together for me. Even though the class was challenging, it helped me decide to become an economics major.

Have you had any internship or study abroad experiences? I will be studying abroad in Prague, Czech Republic, during the Fall semester of 2009. I am excited to experience a completely different culture. I can't wait to travel and explore what Europe has to offer.
