On Wednesday, May 1, the class of 2024 gathered on the South front lawn to celebrate College Decision Day. Excited chatter filled the air as students proudly displayed their chosen schools’ merchandise. While a few students await the May 15 deadline, most showcased their decisions, reflecting the anticipation and excitement of embarking on their collegiate journeys.
Many students like Sam Adlhoch ’24 are excited to start their college journey in the fall. Attending Butler University, he is excited to expand his horizons when it comes to activities.
“I want to try and become a part of many clubs on campus that I feel passionate about and build relationships for the rest of my life,” Adlhoch said.
In addition to joining clubs, he shared that school is important to him to guide him into the future and set him up for success in the real world.
“It’s important to me, not as a backbone, but to learn skills to use when getting a job or applying into positions,” Adlhoch said. “I will use it as a tool to build off in the real world, helping me achieve higher things that I couldn’t do without my education or real-world experience.”
Many students are following in their parent’s or sibling’s footsteps by attending the same university they did. Rebecca Roberts ’24 is following in her brother Williams Roberts ’22 by attending Michigan State in the fall.
“My school (Michigan State University) is important to me because it is a place I know I can grow and learn,” Roberts said. “It is also where my mom went and brother currently attends. I’m most excited to meet new people and experience living on my own.”
