Hey Everyone!

My name is Sofia Coon and I am from upstate New York. I just transferred to Curry from Syracuse and let me tell you, it’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in my entire life. I’ve been living here for almost three weeks and I have become involved with so many clubs/organizations, met so many new people, and absolutely love my classes. Curry turned out to be the perfect place for me! I am going to be updating the blog frequently so that all of you out there can read what its like to be a transfer (or even a new student) here at Curry.

I’m 19 years old and transferred in as a junior. I’m majoring in Communications with a Minor in Biology. Odd combo I know, but it's the things I’m most interested in. I also love to dance and perform - two things Curry offers.

In the last three weeks I’ve managed to do a lot! I landed a part time job in admissions giving tours, became the Student Government Association Representative for Student Ambassadors (a group of students who help with open houses), and was given the role of the Nurse in “Romeo and Juliet” (learn more about Curry Theater). Some of the other clubs I hope to join include the Ski Club and ONE Curry. And lets not forget that I am taking 18 credits, while still some how having enough time to eat , sleep, workout and get all my homework done.

Some of the reasons I decided to transfer to Curry were because of the small size of Curry (2000 students), its close proximity to one of the best cities in New England - Boston, and the calming, accepting vibe I felt when I walked onto this campus. Curry may be small, but it’s definitely got the heart. The faculty here gives their 100 percent to make this place the best that it can be.

So much to talk about and so little space! If any of you reading have questions – leave a comment! I’ll try my best to respond ASAP.
