Student Experience

Study hard and laugh hard, digging deep into language, literature, faith, and friendship.

We are readers and writers who take our work seriously and have fun together in the process. There are lots of ways students can get involved outside the English classroom. From Unhappy Hour to the Writer’s Retreat to the Stratford Shakespeare trip, explore your options and see how you can do even more of what you love.
