My favorite thing about Clarksville
is… how accessible everything is. You can drive to the
business district, the river, the mall, the movie theater, or to
tons of restaurants within about fifteen minutes of wherever you are
in Clarksville.
I think Austin Peay is a great
university because…
it
has an impressive faculty to student ratio. The classes are taught
by faculty, not graduate students, and are kept small to avoid the
often impersonal and intimidating environment of large lecture
halls.
My favorite Austin Peay tradition…
is the Army paratrooper who performs a parachute landing
on the football field to start the game. My hobbies and interests are…
learning about almost anything, traveling, trying new
foods, watching independent movies, discovering new music, running
(just 5K races right now), and dancing. Most people would be surprised to
know that…
I have an orange belt in Kempo Karate.
If you came to visit my office,
you’d see…
decorations (pom poms, hats, etc.) in school
colors. And, of course, binders full of information about APSU.
