Connect with a Current Student
We have a student organization for current students who are excited and waiting to connect with you to answer all those questions you just need to hear from someone who has been through it, such as “How did you find a roommate, what can I do now to get ready, what are art classes really like, what residence hall is the best option for me,” etc.
Please fill out form at the link below and we will try to facilitate connecting you with a student.
