What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I was one of those high school kids that did only what I was interested in. I was an avid musician who was the steryotypical band geek and the science nerd who loved chemistry. As a kid, I always knew I was going to go to school for pharmacy with all hopes of becoming a pharamacist, yet I was also a great trumpet player, who did not know if majoring in music might make me happier. Although I decided to go with the more concrete and reliable path, I would tell my high school self to expand thier horizons before it is too late. In high school I only did band and some science clubs, and never explored anything else. Now, in college, I am a member of charity organizations, clean-up projects, mentoring students and even some art classes, in addition to minoring in music and obtaining a PharmD degree. I would tell my high school self not to be afraid of learning new things and to step out of my comfort zone to better experience the world and learn new things.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish that I had known how supportive and devoted the faculty and university as a whole is towards their students. I imagined my college years to be scary, independant, and boring. Since my first week, I have learned that this is the contrary, that USP creates a constructive and fun learning environment for its students. If I would have known this, I would have looked forward to college more than I had.

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
This university has a very difficult underclassman program, which is why USP was my first choice in my career field of interest. I knew attending this university meant that I was serious about my career aspirations, and, if I graduated with a degree from USP, I would be able to look around at the people during the ceremony and know that I am with the best and brightest. I am comfortable knowing that I am getting better than the education I need to get by in the work force.
