Students share why they chose 黄大仙高手论坛 in 2023
Classes are underway and the incoming class of 1,150 students for the 2023-2024 academic year is ready to experience year one at 黄大仙高手论坛. Seven students who moved onto campus last week share about their paths to Calvin and what they are most looking forward to during their first year.
How did Calvin first come on your radar?
Duncan Billings (Traverse City, Mich.): I was looking for a school in Michigan and I鈥檓 also . I was doing research of schools and I liked Calvin鈥檚 message, so I came for a visit and I really liked it and the people.
Wyatt Steensma (Mattawan, Mich.): Honestly when I heard they were making I was like 'I played football in high school, I did pretty well, and I think I might have a shot here.' So, I emailed the coach and thankfully by the grace of God he put me on the roster and now I鈥檓 here and I鈥檓 having a good time so far.
Caleb Rosendal (Dyer, Ind.): I have two brothers that are here and both of them said it鈥檚 a great school and so I looked into it, and I also saw they were setting up and I wanted to join.
Aedan Vermeulen Vandevelde (Rochester Hills, Mich.): Through a college fair is how I heard about the school.
What was the tipping point for you in choosing Calvin?
Caleb: Location. It鈥檚 not too far from my home and then I also have family in the area, so nice and close.
Katie Phippen (Macomb, Ill.): I鈥檓 a big swimmer and they just have the best program I could find.
Lily Dyk (Kalamazoo, Mich.): It has a lot of good scholarship opportunities, and it has a film program that I鈥檓 part of.
Aedan: I like the pre-law program they have and the different study abroad programs they have for Spanish, that鈥檚 what drew me to come here.
Ashley (Grand Rapids, Mich.): I like how if you鈥檙e undecided they can help you shadow some jobs and all of the resources they have if you are undecided.
What鈥檚 something you are most excited about?
Duncan: I am excited for the Polar Plunge tradition, and mainly to meet new people.
Wyatt: I am looking forward to getting to know people here, teachers, how classes work, but most importantly the Hope/Calvin football game next fall.
Katie: The whole experience, because I was homeschooled throughout high school, so just being able to hang out with people and stuff, having that opportunity.
Lily: Meeting new people, learning more about my interests, and they have really good study abroad options, so I鈥檓 excited to do some of those too.
