What do you like most about being a Hunt Scholar?

What I love most about being a Hunt Scholar are the people I get the honor of calling my colleagues and, more importantly, my dearest friends. We’re all busy – hyper-involved in our academics and extracurriculars – but when push comes to shove, we can all count on each other to be there when whether we need help on-campus or just someone to grab dinner and share our hearts with.
