Q&A with SLC Students
You've got questions, they've got answers!
We asked students to answer some burning questions about life at SLC (and we asked them some not-so-burning questions, too!) Read on to see what they had to say!
Carina Kolodny '10
Junior
Del Mar, CA
"Be open. So many people come into Sarah Lawrence knowing exactly what they want to do, and that's great... But I haven't met a single person who hasn't mixed it up a little bit."
Althea Clemons '11
Sophomore
Philadelphia, PA
"At Sarah Lawrence they challenge you to be your best and have fun learning."
James Wellington Albritton '12
First-Year
Winston-Salem, NC
"Branch out and meet as many people as you can and then let the pieces fall where they may. You're sure to have found some amazing people."
Rebekah Breitzer '12

Okemos, MI
"Sarah Lawrence is all about the individual—you are left to pave your own course in life."
Aston McCullough '09
Senior
Modesto, CA
"I chose to attend Sarah Lawrence because of the overwhelming amount of creative energy that flows through the campus. I wanted to attend a school where I would be able to participate in an artistic current that would help me become more conscious, critical, and expressive in my decision making with regard to my academic and artistic pursuits."
Meredith Kaplan '12
First-Year
San Diego, CA
"Bring your unique/fun activities and interests to Sarah Lawrence. Here you have a voice, and students and teachers who want to listen."
Tomas Maccio '11
Sophomore
Nyack, NY
"SLC had everything I was looking for in a college: small classes with a focus on stimulating, intellectual conversation; a diverse group of students (socially, culturally, ideologically); the ability to work one-on-one with help from teachers to produce a thoughtful, unique, and analytical body of written work; careful and experienced guidance from a faculty advisor (the donning system)."
Julia Leonard '12
First-Year
Colorado Springs, CO
"Don't be afraid to go out and talk to people. Your professor, that cute girl down the hall, the seniors on the swings in front of Westlands."
Nicole Neer '09
Senior
West Liberty, OH
"Interview for as many classes as you can. No matter how good a class looks on paper, you never know what professor you'll truly connect with one-on-one."
Tessa Noonan '10
Junior
Los Angeles, CA
"Be open and excited about the new things you will do and learn. Be willing to stretch your own boundaries and explore."
