What is your favorite class at the University of New Haven?

My favorite class that I have taken while at the University would have to be the Tropical Marine Ecology Study Abroad course. This course enabled me to go to San Salvador, the Bahamas for two weeks over the summer between May and June. During this course I was snorkeling all day nearly every day, I learned how to identify the fish, algae, and corals of the area, and I gained valuable experience by collecting data for two different research projects while down there. One set of data was for the research paper that I had to write for the class and the other set of data was for my senior thesis which I am in the middle of working on now.

What is your favorite place on campus?

Two of my favorite places on campus would have to be either the dining areas or the library. I am torn between the two because both of them have atmospheres that I love to be in. What makes the dining areas one of my favorite places is the fact that I can walk into any of them and see people I know. The environment that I walk into provides a form of support that I never realized I was missing until I had it. The library on the other hand is where I can be found at almost any point. I find that the library is the perfect place for me to get work done either on my own or in a group because it gives me a space where I can focus.

I chose University of New Haven because...

I chose the University of New Haven because of the community atmosphere I could see and feel on campus. I enjoy being involved in a lot of activities and the University of New Haven provided me the perfect opportunity to do so. A second factor was the location of the school. It is very easy to go into New York City but more importantly Long Island Sound is so close! As a Marine Biology student, the large, diverse body of water so close to my school provides many opportunities to go out into the field to learn and do research.
