Evolution of a creative and critical writer
On choosing Marlboro
I’m really glad I went to a big state university first because it helped me understand what I needed out of a college. I wasn’t really sure when I first started looking at colleges, I just knew I wanted something different. I found that what works for me are small classes, close student-teacher relationships, and a really heavy emphasis on writing throughout the disciplines, which I found at Marlboro. I stepped on campus and just felt completely at home, and I transferred here and it’s been fantastic. I’ve been here for a year and a half and I feel as though I’ve grown so much as a writer and as a person.
