I chose Heidelberg because the faculty automatically made me feel at home. The first professor I met on campus was Dr. Marc O'Reilly. Not only did he prioritize me as a person and my personal goals, but had remembered me from a tour I completed almost a year prior. This is actually a really long story. I entered majoring in Political Science

I remember coming to Music Preview Day, touring the beautiful campus, and then seeing the Concert Choir perform and thinking, “THIS is where I want to be.” Later on in high school I applied and auditioned at four other schools, but in the back of my mind, I always knew that Heidelberg would be my home.

I chose Heidelberg because of the supportive and personal atmosphere. I toured multiple times and everyone I came in contact with said hello and wanted to get to know me.
