Meet Courtney Snyder!!

Hello!!! My name is Courtney Snyder and I am a sophomore at LaRoche College. I am 20 years old and attended Knoch High School. I am majoring in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education. Some activities that I enjoy include being outside, going to the beach, and hanging out with my friends and boyfriend. I live on campus in Mahler Hall with 4 of the funniest girls ever. Our room is constantly full of laughter and fun which really helps to eliminate the college stress from our lives. I will post some pictures later so you can meet them all!!
Here at LaRoche I am involved in quite a few activities. I am a member of the Education club, community service group, work study, participating in tutoring at a local elementary school and of course, a student blogger J. A group of friends are also trying to create a LaRoche ski and snowboard club which would also be great to join!
I will share this blog with my twin sister Chelsea. Being a twin defiantly has its advantages and disadvantages and I am sure that you will hear about them later on. We are actually roommates this year and have gotten along for the most part. Like all siblings we fight, but it has become better as we have grown older. It is very likely that sometime this year you will read something about us fighting but its okay; our room would defiantly not be as fun and entertaining as it is if we got along all the time.
Throughout my blog entries I hope to give you a clear vision of the student life here at LaRoche. I will write about activities held on campus, different experiences in the clubs and organizations that I belong to, and keep you up-to-date on campus life. It is my hope that my blog really motivates you to come visit our campus and experience first hand what we have to offer. Please continue to read my new blog entries to feel apart of LaRoche’s college campus…..WELCOME TO LAROCHE!!!!

Meet Chelsea Snyder!

Hello, my name is Chelsea Snyder and I am a sophomore at La Roche College. I am majoring in interior design, and am thinking about picking up a minor in facility management. I am work-study for the Admissions Office, a La Roche student blogger, and am actively involved in ASID (American Society of Interior Designers). I am a full time student and resident of Mahler Hall; my dorm room is FAR from ordinary. I have 4 roommates who are my best friends. One of my roommates is Courtney, my twin sister. There will be more to come about life as a twin in my future blog entries.
I am twenty years old, and my birthday is September 22. Along with Courtney, I also have a younger brother Chad, who is sixteen. I attended Knoch High School where I was in Student Council, a majorette (twirler), and a member of the Spanish club. I enjoy hanging out with friends, shopping, going to our beach house, talking on the phone, and although this might not sound very interesting, I enjoy cleaning and keeping things organized.
I work as Redhawk Recruiter at La Roche (so come and sign up for a tour J). Courtney and I live together, both work in the admissions office, and also work on the weekends at a nursing home (Concordia Lutheran Ministries) that is close to our home. There, we are both dietary aides.
Throughout my blog I hope to bring you many laughs, and ease you into the transition between high school and college. I hope that you will find comfort in my blogs knowing that college is an important step in life and must be taken seriously, but also it can be very fun with many good times and can be experienced with many good friends. Knowing how stressful it is in choosing the right college for you where you can succeed and feel at home, I wish you the best of luck. It is my hope that you will read my entries and feel at home within them. La Roche is really a great college and I hope that you will take into consideration all that it has to offer.
