Final thoughts
"I try to go through each and every day meeting new faces. During my time here, I want to surround myself with good and interesting people. Try to expand your horizons and not to get stuck in your own niche of friends. Don't be the kid who meets friends in your dorm freshman year and never branches out. Just try being nice to someone; it'll come back to you."

@ BC
Turner spends a large portion of her time with duties that come with being a resident assistant. "Being an RA is amazing because I've gotten to meet so many new people and living on Newton means I still get to eat at Stuart." Turner's favorite class this semester is The Art and Archeology of Homer and Troy. Because of her interest in ancient civilization, Turner may study abroad in Greece. Also, she's been involved with Relay for Life.

Final thoughts"Get to know your RA, because they are some great people and definitely excellent resources.
"I love the fact that BC offers such a wide variety of classes because I was able to explore many different and interesting topics."
