Emily Diamond
What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college?
The first thing I would say had a major impact on my time in college was being undecided when I started. I had no idea what I wanted to do and not feeling pressured to declare a major immediately was very helpful in allowing me to explore so many subjects. Another thing that had a big impact on my time in college was orientation. I know that it is not the same for everyone, but I met some of my best friends still to this day during freshman orientation. Going through college with them has made this a great experience.
