Ok friends! So a while back, I posted about some of my European travels and said that I would post them in differing sections, almost like a series! If you haven’t read my first one, click here so you can get all caught up! Anyway, for this second post, it’s all about Budapest, Hungary and …

FYS Part 2: What is an FYS?
I remember it like it was just this summer, because it was just this summer. I’d been eagerly awaiting Hope emails since April when I’d committed – to sign up for classes, fill out my roommate information, etc. Eventually, I was given some sort of course guide for my fall semester so that I could …
Schaap Science Center VLOG!
Hey friends! It’s that time again! Fellow admissions blogger Leslie Kempers and myself give you a virtual tour of the A. Paul Schaap Science Center. This building is a special one for the both of us because both of our majors are “based” from this amazing facility! We hope you enjoy it, and when you …
It Feels Like Fall Semester (Finally)
One thing I noticed since I started blogging for this school year was that I haven’t talked about my first three weeks. Wow, that shows you that I’m still in summer mode. It’s definitely a hard transition, but it happens every year. Crazy to think that my next big “adjustment” will be from college to …

Hope College SAC
Many students here at Hope College are really involved in not only their academics, but also in many social aspects of school. One important organization I am involved in (and I’m not saying it’s important because I’m in it) is Student Activities Committee, or SAC for short. This organization is a backbone to student life …
Friends Are Worth Waiting For
I have always been the type of person who is shy at first around people. It’s mostly because I am too guarded to immediately open myself up around those I don’t know well. So coming in my freshman year not knowing anyone besides my friend Jasmine, I had my guard up even more than before. …
Hello There Hope, Nice to See You Again!
Hello! My name is Marisela, or Mari, and I am a new student blogger here. I am a junior studying English/Creative Writing and French. I like reading fiction novels, baking cupcakes, making music playlists for my friends, and taking photos. I am living in Cook Hall this year because I will hopefully be studying abroad …
New on the Block
Hi everyone! My name is Brooke Wharton and I’m a freshman this year! Since I’m new around here, I’ll tell you a bit about myself. I’ll share why I chose Hope and a few of my favorite things about the college so far! I’m from Troy, Michigan, which is about 2½ hours from Hope. I’m currently undecided in …
