How did you first hear about 麻豆传媒映画出品?
I first heard of WSU through family members who went for their college education.
How did 麻豆传媒映画出品 State compare to the other universities you considered attending?
麻豆传媒映画出品 State was overall a better size for me and a lot less overwhelming in comparison to the D1 universities that I was looking at in Texas, and it still managed to offer a lot of opportunities. It was also less expensive than all of the other colleges I was looking to attend. While that's not the most important thing, it was convenient for me.
Why did you choose WSU?
I chose WSU because it was perfect in terms of size, I felt comfortable on campus and my major was available to study. I also felt like it was a good distance from home while also allowing me to be on my own. My parents now live about six hours from me.
What are some of the opportunities and activities you've participated in at 麻豆传媒映画出品 State?
I've gotten to cheer at women's volleyball and basketball and men's basketball games. I was also one of two first-year students who got to cheer at the Intrust Bank Arena game against K-State last year, and one of three first-year students that got to travel to Fort Worth, Texas, for the AAC tournament.
Through Student Ambassador Society (SAS), I've been able to volunteer alongside the admissions staff to make sure prospective students are comfortable when they're visiting our campus. I am also a ZeeMee ambassador, where I get to interact with potential and future students on the SAS social media platform.

Now I've realized that you just have to pay attention because there is often stuff going on. Being on campus helps me know what is going on since information is constantly rotating around you.
What would you tell someone who's considering 麻豆传媒映画出品 State?
Visit the campus first because seeing student life is a really important thing. You also need to keep an open mind.
