What school do/did you attend, what do/did you major in, and what year did you graduate NA?

I graduated NA in 2018 and now attend Allegheny College as a Business/Econ major and Communications minor.

Do you think NA gave you an accurate idea of what college/real life was going to be like? In what ways?

Yes, NA gives you a good sense of workload and college-level academics through homework and tests.

Do you think there was anything that you wish NA had done a better job of preparing you for?

I would’ve liked to take more classes centered toward my anticipated major rather than take science classes I wasn’t interested in.

What was your biggest surprise when you got to college?

Time-management is something that you need to excel at in college.

How well prepared do you think you were compared to your peers?

I feel like I was a lot more prepared than most.

Do you have any advice for the current students?

AP and college credit classes will help you a lot to get the freshman required classes out of the way.

What do you miss most about NA?

Community and friends.
