Advice for LC students: My biggest piece of advice is to say yes to everything your freshman year. You will be presented with so many cool experiences and will make so many new memories if you let yourself be open.

Smartest thing you ever did/best decision you ever made: One of the best decisions that I made was joining a learning community my freshman year. I learned so much about MNSU and I met so many people.
