What is your favorite thing about Carroll?

My favorite aspect of Carroll is the Campus Ministry. I grew up in a Catholic home, and attending a faith-based school was highly important for me. Carroll not only supports me in my walk of faith, it also provides numerous opportunities for growth in my Catholic faith. I enjoy attending Sunday night mass with a few hundred students and community members. Outside of Sunday night mass Carroll’s campus ministry provides fun, spiritual, and enriching retreats for Carroll students, which is my favorite part of campus ministry.

What is your favorite thing about Helena?

My favorite thing about Helena is the FireTower Coffee House downtown! The baristas rock and they make the yummiest chai lattes and sandwiches. It exemplifies the friendly and down-to-earth attitude that the people of Helena have!

What is your favorite thing about Carroll?

My favorite thing about Carroll is the buildings. Each building contributes to the unique history of Carroll. For example, each floor in Saint Charles Hall, the oldest building on campus, tells a story. Though newly renovated, the lobby portrays the original use of the space when Carroll was founded; priests and students cooked, dined, and gathered together in this space. Now, Carroll students enjoy the modern feel, while preserving and sharing in the history of Carroll.

What is your favorite thing about Carroll?

My favorite thing about Carroll is the plethora of activities that are offered on and off campus. In college it’s important to enjoy as many activities you can with your fellow colleagues. Carroll does a wonderful job of providing students with events and things to do almost every day of the week. Whether it’s a swing dance, a movie, laser tag, or a Segway obstacle course, there are always good ways to unwind from studying and working hard. My favorite activity is the slip-n-slide down Guad Hill at the beginning of the year.

What is your favorite thing about Carroll?

Everyone here, whether a professor, a student, or a custodian, is part of the Carroll family. Carroll is definitely my home away from home. When I was moving back into the residence halls after a break, one of the custodians helped me lug my bags up to the second floor of Guadalupe. There is something truly special about Carroll that can only be experienced in person.
