Favorite College Memory
There are many, but one that quickly comes to mind was a prank played on me and my roommate by our next door neighbors in the residence hall. They saved up copies of the Anchor (our campus newspaper) for an ENTIRE SEMESTER. One Friday night I came back from a concert to find our room completely filled with crumpled up Anchors!

Why I love Hope
I love Hope now for the same reason I did the first time I set foot on the campus: people just seem to care about you here!

Favorite Artist/ Album
Dave Matthews Band/Under the Table and Dreaming

Favorite TV Show/ Movie
The Office/Anything with Tom Hanks

Best thing about Holland, MI
Just one? Probably would have to be our seasons. Sure, we get our fair share of snow in the winter, but you can't beat that at Christmastime. Plus, if you can survive that (and you can), you've got the best beach with the best summer you could ever hope for!
