I decided to apply to King’s because it was far enough from home for freedom, but close enough for comfort. Now as a senior my memories from the past four years flash before me like a slideshow: move-in day and orientation, lip sync competitions, senior socials, dance parties, Homecoming Court, and summer internships.

My education at King’s extended beyond the classroom. As co-Editor-in-chief of the Scop (campus literary journal), I gained marketable job skills in collaboration, editing and design, and as an assistant and coordinator for Freshmen Orientation, I gained organizational skills and made many new friends.

I couldn’t say enough about the faculty and students of King’s College, when King’s calls itself a family, it’s not marketing. It’s a reality. My professors are more than just teachers, they’re my friends and my mentors.

When I walk across the stage at graduation, I’ll walk away with more than just a diploma. I’ll walk away with the love and support of nearly 300 people, including my fiancée, all of whom I met and who have supported me during my four years at King’s.
