Hometown: Spearfish, S.D. Major: Pre Medicine 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.
