What has been your favorite class at SCU and why?
So far I’ve really liked all the classes I have taken while at SCU. However the best class I’ve taken so far is Intro to Interpersonal Communication.  I love that class, the professor made it so interesting, that even though it was a long class time seemed to fly by. In that class not only did I learn about how people interact in an interpersonal way and the value of relationships, but I got to experience it by participating in Arrupe.  Comm. 1 is a basic class, yet essential, I definitely think that if everyone here at SCU took that class the relationships would be even better.

What is your favorite activity to do at SCU?
There are so many things that I love to do here at SCU. Hanging out with friends at night in the hallway of my residence hall, attending MEChA, and Hermanas Unidas meetings as well as participating in the activities we put together in the community. But probably my favorite activity is to take a little time to sit by the mission garden’s and admire the beauty and peace of our campus.

What advice would you give to the Class of 2013?
To the class of 2013 I would advise to get out there, get involved, experience new things, take risks, but most importantly enjoy every minute of it! Also to stay focused and remember why they are here at the same time as they make the best out of their college experience.   

Why do you love SCU?
I love SCU!
I visited for the first time when I was in seventh grade and I fell in love with the beautiful campus.  It felt just like home, and here I am!  I love the people, the university’s mission, the beautiful campus, the weather, everything!
