Favorite place on campus
Covenant's student café called The Blink is definitely one of my favorite places on campus.  Not only does The Blink have great food, but it also provides the perfect place to take a break from studies to relax with friends. It is always fun to walk in late at night and find friends playing a game of chess on the giant chessboard built into the floor.

Why did you choose Covenant?
The close-knit community, the exceptionally beautiful campus, the integration of faith and learning, and the academic challenges that Covenant provides convinced me that it is the place for me.

How is Covenant unique?
Aside from being located on top of a beautiful mountain, I believe that Covenant is truly unique in that it actually lives up to the motto "In all things Christ preeminent."  The Holy Spirit is so prevalent on the campus in and out of the classroom setting.

What has been your favorite experience at Covenant?
I have had so many wonderful experiences at Covenant that it is impossible to pick my absolute favorite. However, some of the highlights of my experience here include a Thanksgiving feast with a group of friends, the Outdoors Club ski trip, and hiking excursions with friends around Lookout Mountain.

What is your favorite class?
Character and Leadership taught by President and Dr. Nielson was a phenomenal class.  My peers and I examined the character and leadership of great world leaders and then determined what lessons we could learn from their lives.  Aside from the honor of being in a class led by both of the Nielsons, we also had the opportunity to hear from other great leaders in the community.

What person at Covenant has had the greatest impact on you?
My close friends have had the greatest impact on me through their encouragement and the examples that they set in friendship and in their relationships with the Lord.

What's your favorite part of the day?
The library has become a sort of "hang-out" spot for my friends and me.  My favorite part of the day is when we are all in the library laughing hysterically at a funny event or prank that has happened amidst our studies.

What are your post-graduation plans?
I am still waiting on God to tell me!

How do you think Covenant is preparing you for the future?
Aside from the high quality of education that Covenant provides, I believe that Covenant is preparing me for the future by teaching me to look at the world with a Christian perspective.
