If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
I would want super speed as my power because moving that fast would require a brain with fast processing abilities. With this, I’d be the fastest learner (my first task would be to become an excellent dancer).
Advice for prospective students: Consider how a college’s environment makes you feel. Choose a place where you will be challenged but also nurtured. Your surroundings are a big factor of your growth as a college student.
