What has been your favorite class at SCU and why?
My favorite class so far has been Contemporary American Business with Professor Richard Williams because I had the chance to learn basic business concepts.
What is your favorite activity to do at SCU?
Playing intramural softball with friends is my favorite activity because you have a chance to run around and relax with friends.
What advice would you give to the Class of 2012?
Coming to Santa Clara is a big change for all incoming students so don’t feel that you are any different from your peers. Be ready to socialize and meet great people who probably have similar hobbies and interests as you do. The next couple of years at Santa Clara will be some of the most memorable in your life so make sure that you get the most out of it. Academics are important but don’t overlook spending time with new friends.
Why do you love SCU?
There are a lot of reasons but I will only name a few. The campus is beautiful and unmatched during spring quarter when everything blooms and sun is just right. Also the classes at Santa Clara are small and the professors are interesting individuals. Finally, the best part about Santa Clara has to be the people because they are very social and generally happy people.
