Why did you decide to attend Coe?
It just felt right when I came to visit. I felt that I belonged here and know now that this was the perfect choice for me. I really enjoy the small atmosphere and the one-on-one opportunities you are given with your professors.
What does Coe mean to you?
Coe, to me, is a private college where everyone is able to make friends and have a great time.
What is it like living in Cedar Rapids?
I love it. It feels like there's an endless list of things to do here and everything's pretty close to campus.
Why should a prospective student choose Coe?
Being a student, you truly are more than a number here at Coe. All of my professors know my name and I feel like they know who I am. It allows me to feel more comfortable in class and try harder because I feel like the professor cares about me. It's a really good feeling.
How has Coe changed your life?
It's opened my eyes to all the possibilities Coe has for me. There are so many different ways you can get involved and just not enough time to join them all!
What is your weakness?
I'd have to say my biggest weakness is the Cupcake Bar in the Cafeteria. It gets me every meal no matter how full I am.
What is your Sunday habit?
Sundays are my days to catch up on homework, take a nap, and watch football.
