In terms of the sport, squash had been my life until college. It had always been very individual, but when I came to Bowdoin, it was very different. There is still the competitive edge, but it is fun. All in all, I feel that being an athlete is inspiring and forces me to constantly work hard. Most sports are division III, other than skiing and squash, which really allows students who were good in high school to continue to play in college.
Coaches are so open and are really excited for students to learn.
Please describe your study abroad experience. I went to Sydney, Australia last fall for five months. It was an unbelievable experience to go across the world into a different culture. The university had several long breaks, so I got to do some travelling into New Zealand and elsewhere, which was like paradise. Please describe your independent study.
