#KohawkNation

My name is Cinnamon (yes, just like the spice) and I am OBSESSED with Coe College. Not only because I'm the Student Body President and I have to, but also because it is my home away from home.

I chose Coe and in a lot of ways, Coe chose me. I am from Colorado and moving 14 hours from home seemed a lot more appealing as a senior in high school, than it did as a freshman in college. But Coe is easy to love and after crying once or twice and more than a couple calls home, I realized that this college was the place for me. I chose to come to Coe after I visited campus three times. Once was definitely not enough and I cannot imagine what would have happened if I didn't experience Coe over so many seasons. I came in the fall, winter, and spring and loved it more every time I came. The atmosphere and student body are incomparable and the sheer amount of opportunities unfolding before my very eyes was what attracted me to Coe, but the reality of everything the brochures said is what kept me here.

Coe truly offers the quintessential college experience - challenging academics, engaged students, endless opportunity, and an unparalleled support system. But most importantly, Coe wants amazing students and isn't shy about making that known. I received sooooo much mail and calls from the Admissions office, but all that did was solidify my decision and make me feel wanted.

The #KohawkNation is a living entity fueled by students past and present and is a tradition that I am so proud to be a part of. I wouldn't trade Coe for the world, and if I had the chance, I would choose Coe again and again.
