“I chose Carthage because of the community. When I first visited, my 导游 waved at us, and just about everyone we walked by greeted us back. I really loved how close everyone seemed to be. Even now, I see how close our Firebird community is. I’ve become close with so many people within and outside of my major and I feel that if I chose a different school, I wouldn’t have that bond with those around me. Everyone I’ve met 在这里 has greeted me with open arms and has allowed me to always be my true self!”

“ 教师 在这里 at Carthage have affected my life so much, even though I’ve only been 在这里 for a short while. The 教师 are always t在这里 to check in on me if they notice that something’s wrong, are t在这里 to help me when I’m struggling, 和一个re always t在这里 for a laugh. It was really important to me to choose a college w在这里 I could have a relationship with my professors, 在不朽情缘平台, I feel like I’ve built those relationships already.”

“Music Theatre Techniques with Professor Matthew Hougland has been my favorite. The energy in the class is always so high, and it’s always so fun watching my peers perform in the class. Everyone is always so positive in that class and helps build each other up whenever someone feels down about their performance. I just love the positivity that is always in that class!”

“Music Theory has been the toughest class. Math is not my strong suit at all, and music theory is basically music math. 我的教授, while taking the class, have been so helpful in making sure I understand what we’re learning about. My peers are always so helpful whenever I have questions when we’re doing homework together! Even though the class is hard, I love going to it because I get to see my friends and learn with them!”

“我是 Carthage Treble Choir 在这里, which has been such a fun experience getting to learn and perform music with all the wonderful people in that class. 我们的总统, Eva Menzia, 25岁, is always so positive and helps everyone get pumped up for concerts and rehearsals. 我在 λ卡巴, our co-ed music fraternity 在这里 at Carthage. It’s been so fun getting to help the music program while also getting to have fun at chapter meetings with a bunch of other music majors! 终于，我加入了 演员而已, our improv group on campus. I love going to practices with my friends and getting to be silly on stage with them. Learning all the games and getting to be myself on stage has been so much fun. I can’t wait to perform at my first show soon!”

“So far I’ve been able to do a few master classes for musical theatre. The most recent one was with Angelique Ilo, who was in ‘A Chorus Line’ on Broadway for 11 years. The class was really fun 和一个lso it was a great opportunity to take part in! Learning the combination was a lot of fun 和一个fterwards, we could audition for the program Angelique was a part of. Getting that opportunity was really awesome, and I loved being able to experience that so early in my college career.”

“My favorite spot on campus is the 7th floor study area in 塔! I love doing homework and looking out onto the water, while being so high up, w在这里 it feels like nothing is below me. It really helps me focus!”

“Many of my favorite memories have been just hanging out with some of my closest friends on campus. My friends and I tend to get dinner every day. It’s always fun getting to catch up with each other and hear about everyone’s days!”

“Try to pace yourself when doing homework. It’s really easy to get burnt out during college, so when you pace yourself, it helps slow that burn out.”

“Keep your door open your first few weeks in your dorm! Everybody wants to make new friends, so if you keep your door open, it helps start a conversation with people in your year!”
