“I choose Carthage for a couple of reasons. One major reason was the 小的校园 and how close it was to home. Another reason I was really attracted to Carthage was the amazing STEM program they have 和 close relationship with 美国国家航空航天局. I am a 物理 major with a concentration in astro物理, so Carthage’s relationship with 美国国家航空航天局 and other companies who are STEM and 物理 centered assured me that I would have many awesome opportunities all four years that would prepare me for when I graduate.”

“全球十大赌钱排行app 教师 have consistently tried to be helpful and understanding. All of my advisors have reached out to me when they thought I needed help, 和y are super flexible when it comes to wanting to meet or discuss any issues you are having with anything. I have a good relationship with my advisors and professors, that is so easy with the small class size.”

“So far, my favorite class has been my Introduction to 物理 class. I made a ton of friends with similar interests and majors, my professor in that class was very funny and easy to learn from. I am now in clubs with the friends I made in that class, I will hopefully continue to be in classes with them because we have similar majors.”

“So far, my toughest class has been Calculus I. I am a 物理 major, so I am almost automatically a math minor, it’s interesting because I am good at 物理 math, but I really struggle with calculus. I do a lot better with math when I have real-world applications and solutions which 物理 provides.”

“I am involved in the Society of 物理 Students, 微重力 PROTO项目 攀岩俱乐部, Planned Parenthood Generation Action. I hope to be able to join more clubs next semester, but I really enjoyed being a part of these clubs this semester.”

“This summer, I am going to be a part of the Carthage Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE), I will be working with the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium (WSGC) on one of Carthage’s 微重力团队.”

“就目前而言, I do not have an official career plan, but I am considering the possibility of continuing to study and research 物理 and go for my Ph.D. in something 物理 related.”

“I think my favorite spot on campus is either the basement of the Hedberg图书馆 by the big windows or in 大卫. Straz小. Center on the lakeside by the windows. I really like the bright spots with lots of windows.”

“I love bingo nights. So many people come to bingo, I love to be able to go with my friends. We always bring snacks for our table, we chat and just have a great time. I also love when Carthage has destress activities the week before finals because they bring in therapy dogs for you to pet, it’s probably the only good thing about finals.”

“My biggest surprise so far has probably been how small this school actually is. Coming into Carthage, I was worried about not getting to know anyone or having trouble adjusting and making friends. I was lucky and adjusted pretty quickly, I made a few good friends. 即使是现在, at the end of this second semester,re are still people that I know that I didn’t know my friends knew, we keep expanding our group, 这很好.”

“I think my 8-year-old self would think I am a little scary but super cool. I think 8-year-old me would want to be friends with me now. I think she would be surprised I didn’t become a rockstar (not actual rock, 虽然), but I think she would still be impressed that I get to learn about stars and space and I get to sing while learning about 音乐. She would also be jealous that I can climb things for fun whenever I want (because I am in the rock-climbing club).”
