I am finishing up my last day here at Utah. The last few days I have been leading the information sessions for the campus visits. I have really enjoyed it but it has also been somewhat of a challenge that I have never experienced before. I have been at Mississippi State since I was a freshmen so I have no problem “talking up” MSU but it can be difficult to sell an institution that you attended and have only been on campus for a few weeks. There are no personal experiences to tell about “when I was here”. It took me some time over the last few weeks to learn to relate my experiences to the prospective students. Some questions I simply can not answer because I did not go here but I can use examples about my experience with living on campus or my experiences in Greek life.
I have really enjoyed working off campus this month and would highly recommend it to future students in our program. I think it is especially valuable if you have been at the same school your entire college career. It is helpful to have a different view on the way things operate and the different cultures. This experience is something that I feel will help me greatly as I begin job searching over the next few months.
