Why do you enjoy working at BSU?
I am fortunate to work for a university that really embraces its transfer students. Transferring can be an overwhelming process, between the transfer credit evaluation, cost of attendance and joining a new community. BSU truly helps ease the transfer student’s mind and enables them to discover that BSU is the right choice and a place they can call home.
The best thing about BSU?
The opportunities! From internships to study abroad to undergraduate research, BSU offers it all!
Fun Fact:
I met my husband when we were both admission recruiters for other institutions. I also attended college in a town called Henniker, the ”Only Henniker on Earth”!

Really soak in your core requirements. It might just spark an interest in a field you never thought of pursuing before!
