Hi my name is Zach Lindsey, and we're here today in beautiful Austin, Texas.
I'm a student at Colorado State, though, and I’m going online to get my degree in anthropology.
Because I knew that I wanted to go a real well-established, brick-and-mortar school, it actually helped me narrow it down to Colorado State pretty quickly.
I really love learning about culture. I became even more interested in Mexican culture specifically.
So I started visiting Mexico frequently. Eventually I moved to Nuevo Laredo, which is on the Mexican side of the border.
This was a place that made me incredibly passionate, and really opened my eyes toward some of the things you can find out there in the world.
I work as an English as a second language teacher. I teach adults.
Different classes in anthropology that I’ve taken have allowed me to really explore Mexican culture with a depth that I really hadn't previously.
The great thing about learning about different cultures is that it's really allowed me to become friends with more people, and really get to know people.
My wife is also a student right now. She's getting her master's degree in higher ed. administration. We both love learning.
We consider ourselves sort of like a collegiate household at this point. A lot of what we do is sit together and read.
One of the things that drew me to CSU online, is that it allows me to customize my time, which is great for someone who has a full-time job.
I'll get on the bus. My work commute is about 40 minutes, and its actually pretty convenient to use my phone as well thanks to apps like the canvas app.
I often like to sit poolside and get some studying done there
I've really enjoyed my time at Colorado State so far, and in fact, I’ve recommended it to a number of other people and I think Colorado State is a great place to pursue an online education.
