Hello again! One of my many favorite parts about c

Hello again! One of my many favorite parts about campus are the endless amounts of resources St. Olaf has to offer. One of which is the CAAS Center which offers free tutoring and writing help. It’s led by students who want to help fellow Oles with their academics and I find it really helpful!

There are many things to do on campus, especially since it’s homecoming week! To celebrate, St. Olaf is hosting Y2K theme events for students. We get to watch movies from the early 2000’s, get to make friendship bracelets, and will be able to attend a dance on Saturday! I’m especially excited to visit the Pause Kitchen where they sell ice cream and pizza! I also took the first picture at the Pause!

Thanks for letting me give you all an opportunity to learn more about St. Olaf! Until next time! :)

Hi everyone! My name is Demi and I’m currently a first year student at St. Olaf College. I will be sharing some of my favorite things that my school has to offer for the next two days! Since I’m undecided at the moment, I am just exploring a variety of classes that piqued my interest. However, if I had to choose, my favorite class would have to be American Stories. In this class, I get to talk to my peers and professor about books or movies that are related to American culture.

My favorite study spot would have to be in the Regents (science) building! It’s like a hidden gem since most students don’t know about it until I tell them. I love the location because it’s in the middle of a tunnel that leads you into another building called Tomson. It’s a very quiet and cozy spot!

We encourage our rising seniors in high school to experience living away from home and to develop self reliance skills, priming them for college the following year. Jasmine and Noemi went to Northampton, MA to participate in Smith’s creative writing program. #Smithcollege #summerprograms

Hello again!! Here I am in one of my favorite plac

Hello again!! Here I am in one of my favorite places.. my room!!🤩 Id like to say my roomate and I decorated it really nicely. I live in Tenochca which was recently renovated. The good thing about it is it’s next to the pool:) So in the first two weeks of school there’s this thing called Aztec Nights! Yesterday was movie night featuring the Breakfast Club which I HAD to go to! There’s also plenty of other events such as dances and games to play. That’s all my time on here, it was amazing giving you all a little inside scoop of SDSU❤️🖤!!

Hi! I’m Elizabeth and I’m currently a freshman

Hi! I’m Elizabeth and I’m currently a freshman at San Diego State University. I am taking over the account for today and tomorrow ☺️. I’m undeclared so that means I will be taking general education classes this semester. Classes start next week and the one I’m looking forward to the most would be my child development class. My high school didn’t offer that, so it’s going to be a new experience. I moved in August 19th and I love it here!! The library is included in the second slide since, that’s probably the best place to study, other than by the turtle pond 🐢! I’ll share more info tomorrow so stay tuned!
