I loved my time at Southwestern College, and it really helped form who I am today. The professors were amazing, personable, and always ready to help. The variety of classes, especially for gen ed courses ensured you'd always have a fun and interesting course to take. The people I met there have led to friendships that have survived many years post graduation, with many of us still talking daily. That's not to even mention the town itself, Winfield, which is a cozy place with a very active community. I could not recommend Southwestern enough to anyone looking for a 4 year university!

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I would tell myself to get a job and save as much as possible. Another sore topic is I would make sure I took the advanced placement tests that I took the classes for just because the score results would have been sent and I wouldn't be having to have my junior year results sent up. The main thing is knowing what I want from softball and determining before I got here if I was going to play. That would have made the first few months alot less stressful and I would have stayed out of the Emergency Room and been a lot more secure in my own identity. It also would have been easier to let down my family if I had been able to quit before I went to play for a college.

  4. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    While I attended Southwestern College I thought that the worst thing was the city that it was located in, Winfield, KS. I would have preferred to live in a little bit larger town or city where there was more going on. The campus always had activities going on, but sometimes I wished that the community had more restaurants and events going on to get involved with. However, Wichita, KS was only forty-five minutes away, so if you felt like driving then you could always go there for more variety.

    When I went to school there not one individual felt out of place there is a little of something for everyone. The person that should not attend is one that is not concerned about their degree because the professors push for the best in each student and want everyone to do well. The college is in a small town but close to a large town so if the student wants to attend a school in a large town this would not be the school for them either.
