In just a few weeks, the Class of 2025 will be joining the sisterhood at Meredith College. The Meredith Herald spoke to incoming freshmen students and asked them what they are most excited or nervous about in regards to their first year as Meredith students. Following are some of their responses.
“[I’m excited for] meeting new people and making amazing memories!”
- Brianna Long
“I’m excited to be independent for the first time! It’s also kind of nerve-wracking, but Meredith seems like a great place to start since they have so many support programs, and everyone I’ve worked with so far has been so kind. I’m also looking forward to all of the traditions Meredith has since it’s such a small school; I feel like I’ll get the full experience without becoming overwhelmed.”
