<b>Likes best:</b> Volleyball, sailing, NMH Outreach, being a peer educator, the dining hall's new and improved pizza, visiting roommate's home on weekends in nearby Vermont
<b>Favorite class:</b> World history
<b>People at NMH:</b> Making the transition to a new school is never easy, but the friendly students and faculty are amazing and that helps a lot. My friends and I motivate each other and teachers listen and understand when the work feels challenging.
<b>My experience:</b> When I first came to NMH, I was very dependent and shy. Now I can take care of myself and I feel more relaxed when I am in new situations. NMH provides a home away from home, and it's a place where I always feel supported. I'm a very different person in many positive ways.
<b>Some advice:</b> Incoming students should keep in mind that everyone was new at some point, so they shouldn't be afraid to talk to others about their experiences as a newcomer. I promise you'll find someone who feels the same.
