Why go to school: I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I know I wanted to go to school for me

Hear about UM: Theatre Competition, we all toured the school and everything
Why decided UM: Small classrooms and I'll get to know my professors
Fears: Having to meet and become friends with new people
Arrive?: August 2016
First Day: Didn't feel much different from high school, struggled to talk to new people
Clubs: Anime Club, my Purple Dad is the president

College Night: Support your friends and family and your side
Dropping/Transfer: Absolutely, I feel like people will always be a better student than me
Cafeteria: It is just decent, I've had worse
Favorite Moment: Some of the night in the Pit
Pit? Hangout spot where all of the smokers go and smoke
Impact: I've learned and grown a lot while at Montevallo
Future: Being comfortable, being in a place that I feel content
MN: Even though I was interviewing another friend of mine this one went a lot smoother. I think he was more invested in the project and therefore cared a lot more about the flow of the interview. The interview was quite good and I've been able to add new questions to the interview schedule as time as gone on, which is a very good sign. This was also my longest interview on record, which was a very happy sight to behcold.
TN : I think this interview went so well because I was able to ask new questions about him life and he responded well to them. They were out of left field and he was not expecting them which gave me more time for a thoughtful answer and that made the interview much more wonderful as well. He was also much more invested in the interview than before, so it was a lot easier to get good answers out of him about he was staying engaged
PN: This guy is one of my best friends and he really came through to me with this interview. He really enjoyed the experience and he wants to see my final paper when I'm done with it. I had done with interview back to back with the previous one, and the difference is how it went was awe-aspiring
SN: He went to Alma Bryant High School, a very small school in which only about 25% go to college. He wanted to go to college from himself and his parents fully supported that decision. He visited Montevallo through a theater competition and he loved the small class sizes and getting to know your professors at Montevallo. His fear was having to adjust to a whole new group of people. He arrived on campus on August 2016, and he struggled to adjust to new life on campus. But he found a home on the PV and with a purple family to support him. He is a mass com major and even though sometimes he thinks about dropping out he knows he wants to stick with it. He lives on campus because it is the best way to expierence college and he enjoys hanging out in the pit, where all the smokers smoke. Montevallo had made me a better man and more mature and he is excited about the future and finding piece in his life.
