 How did you first hear about Butler, and what interested you in the University?
I heard about Butler University from my fiancée who is also currently attending Butler. She spoke highly of Butler’s academics as well as the sense of community that is cultivated on campus. The biggest thing I took from Butler is that it is a place where your heart and ambition come together.

What do you hope to get involved in on campus?
I have always loved being active and competitive, so I am looking forward to getting involved with Butler’s intramural athletics, such as basketball and soccer. I’m also interested in clubs that foster entrepreneurial thinking so I can share and learn from others!

What is your favorite part about Butler so far?
As a student who has previously attended another university, I can attest that the atmosphere on Butler’s campus is movie-esque! It’s a blend of warmth mixed with staff and students who are genuinely invested in each other’s personal growth.

 What are you looking forward to most while being a student at Butler?
I am excited to learn from professors who care about you and your career aspirations. More than anything, I am looking forward to becoming part of a community that challenges and inspires me to be my best. 

What advice would you give to other students who are thinking of transferring?
The most crucial advice I could give to someone who is considering transferring to Butler is to trust your instincts. Listen to testimonies from others, but ultimately, you need to find a place that aligns with your passions and goals!
