When being an exchange student in OH, I met a lot of students who had graduated from here. They told me about all of their remarkable memories of MC. Later, I was in a high school field trip to MC. I felt in love with the smiles from the people I met, and the fresh air and cozy atmosphere from the campus. And I made my decision.

Why I decided
to attend MC:
I came the fall of my Junior year and it just felt right. When I came later on in my search, I felt like I was already going to be a big part of campus before my time here had even begun.
My favorite things
about Manchester:
Favorite thing: I love the fact that the faculty, staff, and students are so friendly. My eyes have been opened since coming to Manchester because of the vast array of diversity.
I never
expected:
I never expected to do undergraduate research. My first year, I did a population study of Black-capped chickadees for Biology and then presented it at the Dean's Symposium. Something I would have never done at a larger school. I also received an internship this past summer working as a research assistant in the Physics department. It is something I would not have been able to do without the preparation I received from my classes.
At Manchester
College, I found:
a home away from home. I love it here! It's funny because I go home and get college sick. I have made amazing friendships which will stay with me throughout my life!

Maggie Winey
Home Town:

Major:
Accounting
Grad Year:
2010
Why I decided
to attend MC:
Well, actually my dad started college at Manchester back in I think 1969. He has always said wonderful things about this place. My mom used to always give him a hard time about not pressuring me to go to Manchester; she said that where I go to college should be my own choice. So I decided I'd visit Manchester just once to appease my dad. I came here and I just knew it was the place for me--it felt right--it felt like home...
My favorite things
about Manchester:
That everyone here is so nice, and so openminded. I love that people will almost always hold doors open for you, or just do some little common courtesy that people just don't seem to do anymore.
I never
expected:
Considering I haven't been here too long yet, I haven't done really anything that I didn't expect to do...maybe take another chemistry class.
At Manchester
College, I found:
joy. High school was nothing like I expected it to be, in a bad way, and I couldn't wait to graduate. I can already tell that college will be nothing like that, and it will be incredibly hard to leave Manchester come spring of 2010.
