I knew Bryant was the school for me when…I visited the school for the first time and experienced its welcoming atmosphere.

What surprised me the most about Bryant was…how diverse a small school could be!

I can’t believe I brought with me to Bryant…my Elmo stuffed animal! I could not sleep without it.

After graduating from Bryant…I hope to pursue a career abroad and eventually settle down as a teacher.

My best experience at Bryant so far was…starting my own organization on campus!

What I am most looking forward to during orientation is… interacting with the incoming freshman. I feel so lucky to be one of the first people to have the chance to experience Bryant’s future firsthand.

Words of advice for incoming students: Leaving home often means leaving important values and traditions behind. Don’t change who you are once you arrive at Bryant. Be yourself!

My favorite Bryant tradition is… jumping into the pond when the Red Sox win the World Series!
