Favorite Things about Bridgewater College: One of my favorite things about Bridgewater is the physical campus. The grounds have such an abundance of plant life that one of my biology professors used the campus as their classroom. Instead of solely using a textbook, we actually walked around campus identifying trees and flowers.

Advice about College Search:  It is never too early to begin thinking about college.  The earlier you start, the more opportunities you have to visit and learn about the colleges you find intriguing.  I recommend that you visit any school you are interested in more than once. Do something different each time you visit – take a tour, observe a class, eat in the dining hall. By researching your prospective schools at great length you will be able to make a more informed decision.  Choose a college that meets your needs, where you feel comfortable and confident.

Brief Personal Section:  I enjoy reading, hiking, camping, playing racquetball and church softball. I am active in both my local Boy Scout Troop and my Church Youth Group as an adult leader. One day I hope to hike the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia.
