Ask me about...
Pre-law experiences, BARSC and Greek life!
Hello! I am so excited to begin my final year at USC. I have had so many amazing experiences here, and am so lucky to call South Carolina my second home. After graduation, I hope to attend law school and pursue a career in Education Law!
- Hometown: Columbus, Ohio
- Major: Education Law and Policy (BARSC)
- Year: Class of 2025
Why I chose the South Carolina Honors College
For me, the SCHC was the perfect balance between a small school community and large school resources. I always wanted to go to a school that had every opportunity to be involved, any major I could choose from and fun football games. The SCHC was perfect, because it offered me a community of friends that make the school feel like home, while also offering all of the opportunities of a large university.
My advice for prospective students: Go to the place that feels like home to you. When I first visited USC, I could tell that it was the right place for me. Whether it's the academic opportunities, the people, the atmosphere, or the location that makes a school feel right, trust yourself!
Favorite Honors class: My favorite Honors class has easily been the U.S. Constitution class taught by Joel Collins. It was one of the most valuable classes I have ever taken. I learned so much about history and law, but also got to go on an amazing trip to Philadelphia with my classmates! We flew to Philadelphia for one day during the semester, and got to tour the city's historic sites as a class. It was an amazing experience I will never forget!
Favorite question during an information session: Are you able to be in Greek life and the Honors College?
Yes! I waited until my sophomore year to do recruitment, but I am so glad that I did. It has not been difficult for me personally to make time for school and organizations like my sorority. Greek life has given me such a great community across campus, and so many fun opportunities I would have never had otherwise. It is never too late to try something new that you're interested in joining!
