Year in School: Junior
Why I Chose BHSU:I'm originally from Spearfish, and I wanted to get my general education classes out of the way, but as I started getting all my classes taken care of I realized that I actually like BHSU. The school is small enough that I really got to know my teachers and the staff at BHSU. Also, the size of the student population allows me to know almost everyone on campus as well. I appreciated that even though it is known for its education programs, BHSU still offers a good Pre-Med Program and a good Biology department with professors that are very knowledgeable.
What has surprised you the most about BHSU?The coffee shop in the library surprised me. I really enjoy the fact that not only do they prepare several types of specialty coffees, but they also have a nice variety of $1 menu coffees that are really good! I was also surprised that the biology classes are way harder than any other class that I've ever taken.
How is BHSU preparing you for the future?I have learned many things here that will carry with me through out my life. If you're nice to people, they'll be nice to you back. A simple "Hi" or a smile can go a long way. I have learned how to entertain myself and have fun without spending money, through using my resources and nature, especially here in the Black Hills. I have also learned how to speak up and help myself because I have realized that when I am struggling and have questions, someone else is probably thinking the same things.
