What's the coolest thing you've done since you began attending Dana?
I taught in a classroom on an Ojibwe Reservation in Minnesota during Discovery Term.

Why did you choose Dana?
Scholarship offerings, close to home, able to play sports, small school with a friendly environment.

What's the best thing about being a student at Dana?
As an education student, Dana is really good about getting you out into the classroom right away. My freshman year, I was already doing a teacher assistant duty, which really opened my eyes on the teaching world.

What will you remember most about your time at Dana?
The friends I've made.

What's the best thing about living on campus?
I live in Mickelsen Hall, and some of my closest friends were established by living together. Mickelsen is also in a good location and we don't have to walk very far to go to the library or gym.

What do you and your friends enjoy doing?
Several times, we just like to chill and watch movies in our rooms. We also like to take trips into Omaha for a movie or do a little shopping. We also take advantage of the activities put on by Student Activities.

What college class has been the most fun for you and why?
Psychology of Love. I took this class during Discovery Term. This class was very interesting and not something that you would see yourself taking at any other school.
