Why I Love Keuka

I get asked this all the time by incoming freshmen, so I thought I’d put it up on here, so you ALL can know. This of course, is not a complete list, but it’s a pretty accurate list.

The people here really care. Like I know everyone I’m going to graduate with, and the teachers know your name, and make exceptions if you need them.

I can still listen to Britney Spears if I feel the need.

Living in Davis freshman year was the best experience of my life. I don’t really want to ever live there again. Ball is like a hotel, I can never leave Ball now.

They pressure wash the walls here. Seriously. Also! They clean EVERY day. I love college.

The lake is way better than any landmark I have anywhere near my hometown. Lilac bushes are amazing too. Or are they trees?

We have a black squirrel. I named him Timmy.

You’ll find at least one person that will end up in your wedding here, if you give them a chance.

Every RA wants you to succeed. Ergo, if you have a roommate you don’t want to live with, you can just move out, or find a new rooming arrangement.

If you forget your phone charger at home, odds are someone in your dorm will have a charger you can borrow until you get a new one / your parental mails it to you.

If you don’t want to see your parents, you can just tell them you have too much homework. If you want to see your parents, you can just go home. It’s brilliant. You don’t HAVE to keep your room clean (although you should, for your roommates)

More to come!
