At first I always thought the campus was huge.
When I found out my freshman class was two thousand kids, 
I was like "Whoa, that's the size of my hometown."
I love that it's big enough to see different faces every day, but it's small enough to where I see the same faces everyday if I want to.
I chose SDSU because when I first came to school when 
I was freshmen I had no idea what I wanted to do.
And I wanted to choose a place where I had a
lot of options and SDSU had the most majors
and I just felt like I would find
something in there that I can actually
fall in love with and want to do for the rest of my life.
I can get the same education as I could at an 
out-of-state school for a great price here.
I'm a Political Science and Journalism Major
so I'm really interested in like the political side of reporting.
I got to work on an election this summer in
Rapid City at my internship.
They had a city election, so that was really fun.
My Broadcast Journalism Professor Jim Paulson
has been the best professor I've ever had.
I talk to him a lot about my summer internship, how things were going
and he would always give me advice or if I had a tough day.
He's always there for his students.
SDSU is nationally-known. It has a great South Dakota reputation
and I think that when people see that on
my resume, they will say, "Oh, she
was able to do a lot of things at SDSU 
that's not maybe offered other places."
