Why did you choose Marshall?

I chose Marshall for the people. The people I met at Admit Weekend, the alums that I met through the Trojan Network, and the friends that I have now created through the many activities and events these past few months.

What surprised you the most about Marshall?

I was surprised how easy it was to meet people, how welcoming each and every classmate has been and how terrific it has been making new friends and connections each and every day.

Favorite USC Marshall Core Class:

Accounting with Professor Beatty.  He has the best personality and really made the material interesting and informative.

Favorite USC Marshall experience:

The tailgates before the home football games are by far some of my favorite events. I love volunteering for them, I love attending them. I love everything about them.

What you wish you knew before attending business school?

How much work you really have! Your life is no longer your own. Unlike work, when classes are over, that is when the real work begins!
