You're the University's second Greiner Scholar, an award for out-of-state students.
Yes, that was a surprise--a good surprise--for my freshman year. I was very honored to have been chosen and enjoyed meeting Prof. [Don] Greiner.
So how did you end up at Carolina?
I was looking through the Fisk College Guide, and it looked like USC would be a great place to check out. As soon as I visited, I knew this was where I wanted to be. I didn't know anyone here, but it turned out that a guy from my high school ended up here, too.
What was your first semester like?
It was a lot of work--time consuming, but not really difficult so far. I'm living in the women's quad, and I have the best floor ever. Everyone on my floor has become a good friend. I was surprised that I didn't get homesick because I hadn't ever been away from home for more than a week or so before coming to college. But I've had a great time here; maybe that's why.
What have your experiences with faculty been like?
The majority of the faculty are very nice and easy to get in touch with outside of class. I met Vicki Fecas from the Career Center at Carolina Camp, which is an extended orientation for USC. That was a good experience.
With one semester under your belt, are you developing some ideas on what you might like to major in?
Well, it won't be math, but I'm probably leaning toward marketing, communications, or public relations.
