During my college tours, I was hard pressed to find a campus that I felt comfortable with. After a few steps onto Prince Lawn, I knew Coastal was that campus. In fact, my brother Jack was with me on my first tour of CCU’s campus and had the same feeling; he enrolled just a year after I did. Coastal’s location, class sizes and invitation into the honors program made my college decision clear. This is the start of my junior year and I can’t help but think that my time here is flying by! I fondly look back on my freshman year when I made friends and became acquainted with the campus where I now spend the majority of my time. I am always happy to start a new semester knowing that I will see the familiar faces of professors and friends from past classes.
Besides my classes, the most enriching part of my time at Coastal has been working in the as a student photographer in the Office of University Marketing and Communication. My job has allowed me to see the University from an entirely new perspective. I attend sports games, music events, theatre performances, lectures, fundraisers, and many more events year-round to take photos and capture the energy that Coastal students bring to #TEALnation. I always enjoy what our campus has to offer and encourage everyone to attend Coastal’s events throughout the year.
