Transcript
Okay? Everyone say hello to Hana a senior majoring in Exercise Science. Hana is super involved. So she’s got a real insider’s perspective on the student experience. This is an engaged and happy campus. You can feel it in being here and Hana is going to tell us why. Hana, please take it away.
– Thanks Alex. Hey everyone I’m Hana. While I was exploring my options for universities, I knew that I wanted to move away from home, but also experience something different. And I really feel like I found that at Puget Sound because I absolutely love this school and also really feel like I found my people here. At Puget Sound you truly get the residential liberal arts experiences. About 70% of students live on campus and we are expected to live on campus for the first two years. This has really helped me build my community and shape my experiences from day one. You won’t just have a place to sleep in study here with suite-style style and traditional dorms, craftsman houses and Greek row, you’ll for sure, find a place to call home. The free parking and laundry don’t hurt either and one of the residence halls even has great mountain views. The food here is a huge part of the culture and we’re even ranked one of the most vegan-friendly universities. I’m a huge foodie and if I didn’t totally love the food, I honestly wouldn’t be here. There are a ton of options and for me, my favorite place is the cellar. The milkshakes are next level, and it’s one of my favorite late night hangout spots. There’s a market and three cafes, which all have their own character, including this secret spot, Oppenheimer cafe, which if you know, you know. Of course, college is an amazing time. We have over a hundred different clubs and organizations on campus. Everything from recreational clubs to academic and student identity groups. The residential experience has made Puget Sound my home away from home. My time here has been truly unforgettable and there’s too much to even begin to give you the full picture. So you’re gonna have to come and find out for yourself, passing it back to you Alex.
– Hana, thank you for welcoming us into your home. Your enthusiasm shines through with so many opportunities to find and create your space, I can see why students here seem like this is exactly where they wanna be. And I hear that Cellar is a wicked pizza place. So I’m definitely gonna have to grab a slice, thanks to the wreck, take care.
