What made you decide to attend Champlain?

I applied Early Decision to Champlain. It’s actually the only school I applied to—I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t gotten in! It has a good business program, and I really liked the small classes sizes. The tight-knit community, the classes Champlain offers, and the Burlington area all make for an overall great college experience.

What do you like most about the Upside-Down Curriculum?

I think for anyone like me who wasn’t sure what they really wanted to do, the Upside-Down Curriculum really helps because you can try things out. Before I decided on Finance, I took a variety of accounting and finance classes because they’re so similar. If I wanted to switch into Accounting or any other business major, I would have been equipped to do so.

How can students get involved on campus?

When I was in high school, I didn’t do a lot of extracurricular activities, so when I got to college I knew I wanted to get involved. I’ve been in CHAMP (Champlain Has Activities and Motivational Programming) since my first week here, and I became an Orientation Leader my senior year. I’ve also been a Resident Assistant, and I play intramural basketball every Tuesday. What I tell every first year is to just do everything, get out there, and try new things. Your college experience is what you make of it, so make the most of it.
