What’s Your Favorite Thing About Going Back to School?

Being with all my friends! I love going out with ma gurlies and dancing the night away, then spending the whole week talking about that night.

And the exams of course :D …..

One Piece of Advice For Every First Year Student:

Drink all your juices! OJ, CJ, AJ, etc. Get that vitamin C so you dont end up like me being sick all the time and trying to handle the world.  I got whooping cough for two months and tonsillitis after winter exams; that was the first semester! Who gets that? People who won’t drink their VC and get enough sleep, that’s who. STAY HEALTHY.

Why did you choose Chatham?

I always loved small schools and I wanted to be in the city, so after I spent a night at this beautiful campus, I knew I’d fit right in.

What do you love most about being a Chatham woman?

I love me some food without guys looking at me eat. When I’m around guys I try to act perfect, but here us gals can be who we want to be. So if I want to eat the day away, or act not so cute… I can without acting perfect.
