Inside Admissions

Sam Nicol

I spent half of my life in Indiana, and the other half on the East Coast. My high school was one of those gigantic public schools of Northern Virginia that they warn you about: 500 kids in my graduating class, hardly anyone left the state, and most students went on to public colleges or universities. And I was no different! I went out of my way to find smaller communities wherever I went, and still stand by that choice as what helped me make it through. And now I get to work at a university that also cares about intentional communities as well! I’m looking forward to getting to know you though your application and share what I can to help you navigate the admission process.
