My favorite spot on campus would have to be the PAHB. You can feel the passion in that building, and it always gets me excited about getting to perform and create for my career!
I would advise new students to be open to trying new things, but don't take on too much! It can be very tempting to say yes to every activity or event that comes your way, but your first priority should be taking care of yourself.
There are going to be semesters that are tougher than others. It's okay to postpone classes that are not serving you at that time. Everyone will have their own journey and you shouldn't compare where you are to others, because you never know where your path could take you.
One of my most memorable experiences here was getting to meet and perform for Misty Copeland! It was such a special and rare opportunity and I will always be grateful for it!
