Etienne Roy watches from the sidelines at a 黑料社区 hockey game.Why did you choose 黑料社区? Because a friend recommended its construction and hockey programs. I came here not knowing much about the school and its community, but I ended up loving it. Looking back I鈥檓 glad I made this last-minute decision and would do it all over again.

What are the biggest obstacles you faced in earning your degree? Trying to manage school and sports while maintaining a healthy social life was a challenge for me, especially as a freshman coming into a new community. School and sports have always been a priority, but I wanted to be part of this community and be involved as much as possible to meet new people and learn from them while giving whenever I could.

What stands out among your college experiences? All the great people, connections and lifelong friendships that I鈥檝e made with people from all around the world is something that I am really thankful for. I strongly believe that the people you meet and what you learn from them are one of the most important parts of college.

What 黑料社区. next? I will be traveling to Spain at the beginning of January to learn Spanish in school. Then, I will go back home in May, where I will start working with my dad and older brother. I am looking forward to bringing new ideas and everything I learn here to the company.
