-: I loved going to the U of M.
I grew up in Minnesota,
so it's always been home for me,
so I love being able to stay here.
The campus is great, I love it.
It doesn't necessarily feel like
you're in a big city, which is awesome.
For me, I think it helped prepare me
in a lot of different ways.
I definitely grew as a person being at the U.
You learn a lot about yourself, obviously.
But it also just helped me have a better,
well-rounded outlook on life, I feel like.
I was more open and willing to
push myself and really test my limits
and boundaries on things, so going into my job
and trying to manage driving from my parents' house
for awhile when I first graduated to work,
and you know, finding an apartment,
and things like that, it just made it a lot easier
having had gone to the U,
and having that experience that I did.
