Favorite thing to do in Bozeman:

I love all of the access we have to the outdoors! Whether it is hiking new trails, fishing or floating on the river, or skiing, it is hard to feel bored here in Bozeman! Some of my best memories include getting to explore the Bozeman area with friends and finding my favorite hikes in the area.

Best college memory:

My sophomore year, ESPN's College Gameday came to the Brawl of the Wild football game! It ended up being the coldest game day on record, and people were out there early to get good seats for the show. Some friends and I went to the stadium around 1am and there was already a crowd of people waiting for the game! Even though the temperature was in the negatives, people were grilling food, making hot chocolate, and just getting excited for some Bobcat football. It truly captures the spirit that all Bobcats share and how excited people get to support our 'Cats - even if it is freezing cold out! While I have so many great memories, this is definitely a highlight... getting to enter college and graduate with my two identical sisters wasn't so bad either!

Words of wisdom:

Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and say yes to things! You might discover new hobbies and passions that you never would've predicted for yourself. Reach out to the person who sat next to you on day one in the big lecture, speaking from personal experience, they just might end up becoming one of your best friends here! There are so many different connections for you here, so make the absolute most of your time as a student!
