What is different about living in a residence hall versus living at home?
Instead of living with your parents and siblings, you live with 30-90 of your best friends. There’s always a ball to be tossed, video game to be beaten, and midnight adventures to be had. Once word summary: epic.

What has made Linfield College a valuable experience for you?

I can live on my own, take care of myself and make responsible decisions. I don’t need someone holding my hand the entire way, I can take charge and be my own person.
