What had the biggest impact on your decision to attend UNF?
Though there were many factors in my decision to attend UNF; the most prominent one is definitely the jazz department. UNF’s award-winning undergraduate jazz studies program is one of the top in the nation. The faculty is complete with world-class, legendary musicians who take interest in their students. Expectations are high from the professors. Students are responsible for making use of the invaluable resources this program has to offer. UNF has a great deal of programs for students to choose from; the music department is just one example.
What has been the best thing about college so far?
The best thing about college for me has been the growth process. I have learned so much in my last two years here at UNF. I’ve learned many life lessons; having to be responsible for myself completely has taught me a lot. It’s been a great experience and I look forward to graduating and seeing what else the world has to offer.
What is the biggest difference
between high school and college?
The biggest difference between high school and college is the level of
responsibility. In college, you are
responsible for everything you do or don’t do—your success in college reflects how responsible you are with your time
and classwork.
What were the most helpful things
you did in high school to prepare for college?
In preparing for college, I was fortunate enough to take several
Advanced Placement and dual enrollment courses in high school, which counted
toward college credit.
Do you participate in any
activities or organizations?
I am a full-time jazz studies major which is where the majority of my
time goes.
Who is your favorite faculty
member and why?
My favorite faculty member is Dr. Bill Prince. He is a very respected musician with multiple
years of experience and knowledge.
What is your favorite class and
why?
My favorite class is evolutions of jazz—it’s a very laid back learning environment
and rich with valuable information on the history and evolution of jazz in
America.
What are your plans after
graduation?
After graduation, I plan to attend graduate school and eventually
develop a career as a professional musician.
Do you have any advice for future
students?
College is all about work—if
you do all of your work, you will be fine.
