We came to further our education, but received more than that. When we stepped foot on campus, we got more than we bargained for.

We got a family.

Although we freshmen have only been on campus for about a week now, we have already fallen in love with our new home for so many reasons.

1. The Community

The community here at Fisher is unlike anything any of us have ever seen. As we made our way to your bright shirts that matched your bright smiles on move-in day, we all felt welcome and at home. You gave us direction as we sat in our cramped cars waiting for the very first step in our college journey to begin.

2. Family

As if we haven’t heard it enough. We are a “Fisher Family”. Sure, we like the way it sounds, the alliteration and the way it just flows, but these two words really sum up how it feels to be here. As freshmen, we’ve never been away from home, and at Fisher, we are given a family away from home.

3. Door Holding

It's a Fisher thing. I don't know why we do it, but I’m so glad we do. For us Freshmen, it makes us feel welcome, and we plan on continuing this tradition for future classes. An open door really symbolizes how this campus feels.

4. The Dining Hall

It’s not the freshman 15, it's the Freshman 30. Fisher’s dining hall, as many of us new students know, can be dangerous. For the majority of the freshman class, we live right above it (making it way too easy to get to). For a dining hall that has to feed an NFL football team, it feeds us, freshmen, really well, and we love it.

5. School Spirit

Maroon and Gold. Two colors that can be seen throughout the entire campus. Athletes and non-athletes alike have so much pride a Fisher. Freshmen, get decked out in your college merchandise because we have some sporting events to attend. Through everyone’s love for their school, we have been introduced to a family that loves and supports one another.

Thanks, Fisher.

Sincerely,

The Class of 2020
