Name: Courtney Hall
Home Town: Flora, Indiana, USA
Major: Biology-Chemistry
Grad Year:

2011

Why I decided
to attend MC:
I applied because it was free, but then I came for a recruit visit. I really liked how small it was and I loved how small the classes were. It just felt like it would be the perfect fit.
My favorite things
about Manchester:
Right now, I love making new friends and getting closer with new friends. I also love being a member of the track team.
I never expected: Share a room with someone...as an only child I never had to do. I will admit I lucked out and I got a pretty cool roommate even though she goes to bed at like 11:30 every night..ha ha.
At Manchester
College, I found:
friends, the expeerience that I had always dreamed college would be....I found ME!!!

At Manchester
College, I found:
At Manchester College, I found space. Space to grow and explore and claim thoughts for my own. College is a completely new environment where you're no longer formed by the ideas of your family, your school, your town. You find space to express yourself, to learn, to try out, to think through. You find out who you really are and what you really think and feel. Having space sounds scary, and sometimes it is, but you make it through with the supportive community Manchester offers. Manchester College doesn't stifle me, doesn't abandon me...just gives me space.  And that's just what I need.

Name:

Jessica Hickerson

Home Town: Baltimore, Maryland
Major: English
Grad Year:

2011

Why I decided
to attend MC:
I have been dreaming about going to Manchester since I was really, really young. Both of my parents attended here and all they could do was rave about it. Also, the size appealed to me in a very personal way. I loved the small class sizes and small communities that I could so easily see myself becoming a part of.
My favorite things
about Manchester:
I love the relationships with students and professors. It's really an amazingly accepting feeling to walk along campus and have a lot of people know you, and wave, or pass a professor and for them to call you by your first name.
I never expected: I never expected to live on my own so well. I thought that I would lean on my friends and close family heavily, but I haven't. I have become so independent, and I love it. I still need people, but not in the ways that I would have thought.

a life. This is the beginning to my life, and I know it, and am glad for it.

I never expected:

Travel to Spain and France. It was a eye opening experience for me to be placed in a culture so far away and different!

At Manchester
College, I found:
a place to learn, be who I am, and transform into who I will become. I never expected to change the opinions and ideas that I'd held throughout high school, but here I learned about the real issues, and I feel that I have a better idea of the reality of our world.

But they thought she was gorgeous and totally surprised to find ot it was me.  it was really funny to have people not even recognize me. All this as a striaght man.

My favorite things
about Manchester:
As a student, you're a person-a friend- not just a number. I love the small classes and caring professors. They try to help and understand and actually get to know all of the students. Professors will even come sit with you at lunch and come watch your sporting events or performances.
I never expected: I've been given the opportunity to play soccer in Peru, South America this summer. This will be such a great experience both for athletics and cultural immersion.
At Manchester
College, I found:
compassion from friends and professors. People really care here. I've found spectacular friends and I've met professors who are truly remarkable people and who have enriched my life both in class and out. The small population holds a real wealth of creative and inspiring individuals.
