Campus Comment | Advice for Rising Seniors

The members of the class of 2010 are nearing their final days on the Hill. What advice do graduating seniors have for rising seniors?

Raoul Alwani

 "This is the last eight-to-nine months of being together with your friends in such a close environment where you can easily get together with them. You won't as easily be able to meet someone for coffee or a drink or go out together at night or to a bar, so make the most of that and make the efforts to spend time with each other, because once you're geographically more spread out, it's harder to see each other."
—Raoul Alwani

Nicole Slaughter

"Enjoy the time that you have left here because senior year goes by really fast, and I'm already surprised it's here, so just take your time and enjoy the last few months you're here at school."
—Nicole Slaughter

Katie Houstle

"Put all your harder classes first semester so that second semester doesn't suck as much."
—Katie Houstle 

Jeremy Haber

 "Start your job search early."

—Jeremy Haber

Hayley Kamin

"Be as involved as possible and don't turn down any opportunities to be involved in projects and activities. Don't let your work interfere too much with the time you have left. You're going to remember going out with friends rather than writing a paper."
—Hayley Kamin

Sarah Cleary

 "I would suggest that seniors talk to their advisors as soon as possible about different avenues to access in terms career options, about how [their advisors] came to their particular job, different networking tools they could use and just advice about career options and where to go."
—Sarah Cleary
 

Adam Frank

"Enjoy first semester and try not to stress too much about jobs because it will fall into place eventually."

—Adam Frank 

Annie Jacob

"You should take a yoga class. I took a yoga class and it was really great and relaxing and was something I couldn't get into not as a senior."
—Annie Jacob
