What is your favorite thing about Emmanuel College?
The "family" you join when you are accepted to the college! I immediately felt at home on campus. The faculty, staff and environment are all very supportive and form a great home away from home.

What is your favorite thing to do in Boston?
Hmm, this is a tough one...EVERYTHING! I love the history of the city, so I love going for a walk through Beacon Hill, eating at a pub downtown with friends, or going to sit in one of the many parks within the city. You have to be sure to check out the MFA, great on those cold winter days!

What is the one piece of advice you would give students who have been accepted to Emmanuel?
Come back and visit again. When you get to campus, pretend it is move in day and picture yourself living here, eating here, sleeping here and playing frisbee in the quad. If you go through the motions of being a student here, you will have a better feeling of fit!

What is the most exciting aspect of working in Admissions?
I love welcoming our accepted students to our "Accepted Student Visit Day" in the spring. After a long cold winter of reading applications, it is refreshing to welcome both the spring weather and our new students to their first event as a potential Emmanuel student.
