Hello, my name is Kayla and I’m a sophomore here at Suffolk University. As a transfer student from an extremely small performing arts conservatory, the admissions staff made the process so comfortable and welcoming that I could hardly wait to embark on a new academic adventure.

I came to Suffolk with an open mind, eager to explore every major offered. During my first semester I realized that I wanted a career in Public Relations and I love being a part of the Communication and Journalism Department. I am also working towards a minor in Government, and what better location to do so than next to the Massachusetts State House? I anticipate applying to law school upon completion of my undergraduate years.

Having been home schooled throughout most of high school, extra curricular activities were a new (and I must admit daunting) idea to me. Joining a club was both an easy and important thing to do at Suffolk. As a commuter student it was an opportunity to meet more of my peers, get involved with things happening at the school, and add an element other than academic work to my life. I became involved with the Best Buddies Organization and was quickly appointed as their treasurer. This position also led to my involvement with Unity Week, a major week-long event at our university.

While I enjoy the tightly knit community at Suffolk, it is the city of Boston that I call my campus. There are so many opportunities available to us; educational, recreational, and career-based. All of the curriculums here encourage students to explore Boston and some go as far as assigning it. We are kept well informed of events, speakers, and rallies happening within the city and are lucky to be within walking distance of it all.
 
I will leave you with a list of my favorite aspects of Suffolk University:

• The small class size
• The diversity of the study body
• The location
• The unique career opportunities

But you don’t have to take my word for it, come see for yourself! I’ll look forward to guiding your tour.
