I went around asking freshman students what they really thought of the Math and Science Center. Here are the some of the questions I asked and what they answered. Q:What do you think of the Math and Science Center so far?

• "I thought it would be a bunch of nerds, but it turned out to be lots of fun." Julia Myers, Edwardsburg
• "It's better than normal school..." Steven Van Alstine, Buchanun
• "I absolutely love it! The homework can be overwhelming, but I've made a lot of friends and learned a lot." Lisa Bowman, Bridgman
• "It's fun." Mahalia Stelter, Watervliet

Q: Who is your favorite teacher and why?

• "Dr. Calkins becuase he makes math really amusing." Meg Berndt, Bridgman
• "Greenley because he doesn't give homework." Julia Myers, Edwardsburg
• "Dr. Greenley because he tells us how to do stuff instead of leaving us to figure it out on our own." Brian Exner, Brandywine
• "I would have to say Dr. Calkins because he is fun and he seems like he really enjoys what he does." Kelsey Stevenson, Bridgman

Q: What's your favorite class and why?

• "Computers because we get to hang out and work on the computers and sit by cool people." Shimen Tackett, Niles
• "Computers because we haven't really had that many assignments." Alex Ehlers, Coloma
• "I don't really have a favorite class. I like them all equally." Mahalia Stelter, Watervliet
• "Computers because we slack of in computers. But don't tell Dr. Greenley that. That would be bad." Matt Hunter, Edwardsburg

Q: What's your favorite thing about the Math and Science Center and why?

• "Getting to know a whole bunch of people. The people we know we wouldn't have known before this. It's just a great experience." Shimen Tackett, Niles
• "You get to meet a lot of nice people that you wouldn't have been able to meet because they live in a lot of different cities." Alex Ehlers, Coloma
• "All of the people because it would be really boring without them." Josh Krugh, Eau Claire

Some of the things we do on a regular basis...

The long walk...

to Biology...

gives us a great workout!
And it even makes us a little...koo-koo!!!!!


The funny thing is, we've only been together for a month and we're already a great big family. We act like we've been going to school together since kindergarten. The Math and Science Center is really a great experience. Truly, the Center isn't all about advanced math and sciences, but about making new friends and just sharing that wonderful experience with others.
