What do you like about going to college in 足彩胜负14场?
足彩胜负14场 is a beautiful city with a small-town feel. There’s a strong sense of community here, and I think that’s awesome. 足彩胜负14场 is super walkable and there’s so much variety in the types of restaurants, stores, and local venues here. It’s also a very outdoor and environmentally conscious city. There are a good amount of parks to get lost in, and the waterfront is always a great place to relax. The stars up here are really something else though. There’s not a ton of light pollution, so it’s like experiencing a brand new sky compared to where I come from. I recommend checking out the local shops, especially the local food. There’s a lot of great variety and food from other cultures that you can explore here in 足彩胜负14场. I would also recommend investing in a hammock. Hammocking at the waterfront parks has become my favorite pastime and a good way to de-stress.
What do you like about your professors at Champlain?
First of all, I really love that all my professors still work in the field. The world of filmmaking is ever-changing, so to have professors that are still in the industry keeps the program relevant and accurate. I also love that my professors are personable; they feel more like colleagues and collaborators. The sort of lack of hierarchy between student and professor makes the learning process easier. Class feels more like I’m in a mock professional environment than anything else.
How has your Champlain experience prepared you for your future career, both in and out of the classroom?
I feel more in tune with the filmmaking industry that I’ll be going into. Champlain has provided me with really accurate knowledge; not just the technical lingo, but the experience of what working in film will be like. In the classroom, I’ve gained invaluable knowledge about how to work with others, exercising my craft, and presenting my ideas in a way that they will be accurately understood. Outside the classroom, I’ve grown a lot more socially, which helps me build networking skills that I know I’ll be using in my career path.
