Boston is such a compact city – you can walk from the bustling Prudential Center to the urban wild Back Bay Fens in fifteen minutes. There is so much history here! Some favorites include: the U.S.S. Constitution (the world’s oldest commissioned naval ship), Little Italy (gelato! cannoli!), the Freedom Trail, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

What advice would you give to an incoming ENC student?
Don’t be afraid to ask the hard questions. Get to know your professors – they’re a huge resource for life, academics, spirituality. Your time here is a bridge between your past and your future, and you should soak up all the wisdom you possibly can.

What advice would you give to an incoming ENC student?
Before I left for college my sister said to me, "College will be the best four years of your life, so enjoy it!" She was definitely right. Being at ENC provides you with a multitude of academic, social, and ministerial opportunities. It is a time of learning and growth. It is a place where you are free to become exactly who God created you to be. Be open to the opinions of others and make a choice to let it be a great time in your life.
