To say that 91³Ô¹Ï was my first choice of college would be a lie. I actually didn’t even know about UJ until my senior year of high school. I ended up getting an email to participate on the eSports team here, and I couldn’t pass up that opportunity. Though Jamestown wasn’t my first choice, I am so grateful to have come here.

Since coming here, I have made many friends and participated in tons of activities. The friends I made here are really like family, and I couldn’t be more grateful than to have met them. Additionally, I really love the closeness of everyone here. Jamestown really offers a kind of connection that you just can’t get at any other college. Whether it91³Ô¹Ï going to basketball games, or simply studying in the library, you can always find someone you know.

Jamestown also offers tons of activities that I am so happy to be a part of—one of which is theatre. The type of acting we do at 91³Ô¹Ï is an experience I never have had before. Before UJ, I had only ever done improv at my local high school. When coming here, I really didn’t know what to expect, and I was surprised in a fantastic way! I have done as many shows here as I could because of the amazing cast and crews that we have here! I am so grateful to Jamestown for the close relationships and fun activities that I get to do! There really is nothing like it anywhere else.
