Emily Latten
Senior Emily Latten will attend Susquehanna University after high school. Latten plans on majoring in music education.
Q: Why did you choose to go to Susquehanna University?
A: I chose Susquehanna because when I visited campus I immediately felt at home. I went through a tour of the campus, which was beautiful, and I continued to connect with other students and faculty members who were all very welcoming.
Q: What are you majoring in or planning on studying at Susquehanna?
A: As of right now I am planning to major in music education. I am considering adding either a minor or another major, but I have not decided on what that would be yet.
Q: What excites you the most about college?
A: I am looking forward to the independence and meeting so many new people.
Q: Is there anything about college that intimidates you?
A: Being a music major, I know that I will have to perform solos to track my progress, and I know that I always get nervous before performances.
Q: What other colleges were you looking at as other options?
A: I was also considering Shenandoah Conservatory, Lebanon Valley, Slippery Rock and Duquesne.
Q: Why did you think this college was the choice for you? What about the school interested you?
A: Aside from hearing and reading great things about the music program, the strong sense of community is really what drew me in. Many colleges pride themselves on having that small-town feel, but Susquehanna went above and beyond to make me feel valued as an applicant and now as an upcoming student.
Q: How do you feel about senior year ending so soon?
A: It is crazy that it came this fast, and I have been really trying to value every day that I have left with my friends and classmates before we all part ways. Of course, I am sad that I will not be able to see my friends very often anymore, but I am looking forward to the future and how I will be able to grow in college.
Q: What do you think will be the biggest difference between high school and college?
A: I think the biggest difference for me will be the independence and true expression of who I am. I think in high school it is easy to not want to stand out, but in college you have a chance to become the person you really want to be.
