What is one challenge you faced during your transition to college life and how did you overcome it?
One challenge I overcame was leaving my twin sister. We went to colleges three hours away. I overcame this difficult challenge by being very outgoing and talking to everyone to make friends.
What is one memory from your own orientation/welcome week experience?
I loved welcome week so much! One night we went to Target and there was a DJ and it was closed for Butler students only. Some girls in my orientation group walked around with me and we found some boys just sitting in lawn chairs in an aisle. They got some off the wall and we all just sat there and got to know one another. We all became best friends. You will make so many friends your first week at Butler that you will continue to be friends with for all your college years.
How did Welcome Week help you transition to Butler and life away from home?
Welcome Week was so helpful in my transition to Butler. Before college I was so worried about making friends right away. Welcome Week helped me make friends but also helped me prepare myself for the first few weeks of classes. Having older students as your leaders helps tremendously because they can tell you about their experiences and help you know what to expect.
