Favorite Place on Campus: I like several places on campus, especially anything dealing with nature, flowers, or sculptures. The center of campus with the fountain is nice. I like the entrances when they have all the flowers on bloom. I also like the Japanese garden.

Best of SIUC: SIUC is a great place to go to school. It offers a very friendly environment and a great educational system. The campus is very beautiful. SIUC offers several activities and opportunities to all of its students. I am very glad to have made SIUC my choice of school. It has such a great education system. I like the fact they offer so many clubs, organizations, and chances for students to have fun and get involved.

Advice to New Students: The number one thing that I have to say to new students is make sure you enjoy your time in college and make every second count. Also don't forget those deadlines, go to class everyday, include time for your studies, and make lots of friends. Get involved and do something exciting, something that you never thought you would ever do before.
