August Betz ‘30

Hometown: Cincinnati, OH
Major: Exploring (Interested in Biology or Economics)
Why I Chose Rollins: I was recruited to play for the lacrosse program. It stood out to me because it was a perfect fit, beyond lacrosse. The campus was beautiful, the people on my visit were amazing, the academics are great, and of course the lacrosse program is very good. Even if I was not playing lacrosse, I would want to be here. It is the place to thrive.

Hometown: Kissimmee, FL
Major: Business Management Major, Theatre‬‭ Arts Minor
Why I Chose Rollins: From the start I knew I wanted to go to a school that developed more interpersonal relationships rather than a simple listen, learn, then go back to your room mentality. I love hands on work and working through challenges no matter how difficult they might seem at first and after touring the school and seeing some of those interactions solidified it for me.

Why I Chose Rollins: I imagined myself attending a large, traditional university, but life led me to Rollins, and I couldn't be happier that it did. The ability to be close with faculty, have exciting classes while being at a beautiful place makes this experience as unforgettable as it could. I firmly believe students should go where they believe they will be the happiest, and Rollins is a huge facilitator of that decision.
