I transferred to Defiance College in the 2007-2008 school year. Best decision of my life! I met wonderful people here at Defiance College and in the community. Throughout my three years at DC, I was engaged in many activities. I was part of the football team, played soccer, was manager of the basketball team, and was part of the service learning community. The best experience I would say was that I got to travel to Chile for two weeks. DC has a lot to offer.  Just make sure that you take advantage of everything through many roles, whether as a service leader, McMaster Scholar, or being a part of an organization on campus.

I look forward to speaking with you to explore your higher education choice. Best of luck!

Quote: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
