How did you hear about Butler and what interested you in the University?
I heard about Butler through Verto Education, the program I participated in last year.

The location and reputation of Butler also drew me to consider transferring.

 What do you hope to get involved in at Butler?
I plan to join a club or two, make new friends, and learn more about the study abroad program.

What is your favorite part about Butler so far?
The community. Everyone I have met so far has been kind and welcoming.

What are you looking forward to most when it comes to being a student at Butler?
I am looking forward to making new friends, meeting Blue IV, and exploring Indianapolis.

What advice would you give to other students who are thinking about transferring?
Make sure to visit the campuses you are thinking of transferring to. Campus visits made a big difference for me when deciding where I should go.
