Why did you choose to attend UM?

I chose The University of Mississippi because it offered a mix of academic opportunities, leadership growth, and community.

What can you tell a high school student about your FASTrack experience?

Joining FASTrack was one of the best decisions I made during my freshman year at Ole Miss! The program provided me with a strong support system right from the start. With smaller class sizes, dedicated advisors, and caring peer mentors, I always felt supported in my journey. This made my transition to college much easier, as I had people I could turn to for help, whether it was regarding academics or adjusting to campus life. Additionally, I formed incredible friendships and connections that I know will last beyond college. They truly became my family away from home.

What is one thing you wish you knew as an incoming freshman that you'd tell your past self?

Everyone adapts to college in their own way. Whether the environment is new or familiar, and the workload is stressful or manageable, be sure to give yourself time to adjust and settle into the new surroundings.
