What do you like most about being a Hunt Scholar?

Getting the Hunt Scholarship grants you an automatic level of respect from many of the staff and adults on campus. For example, I applied for a job at the campus library as a freshman. I was accepted, and my supervisor told me that my Hunt Scholarship alone was enough proof to them that I would be a responsible, hard-working student.
