Darby Hollinger ’22 What drew you to Hood?
I was drawn to Hood by the surrounding area—its historical significance, uniqueness, and beauty—and by the fact that Hood had a familial quality about it that made me feel comfortable.
What has surprised you about Hood?
I’ve been surprised by how Hood manages to feel both big and small at the same time. I don’t feel limited by the fact that I go to a small school.
What’s your favorite place in Frederick?
Obviously, Market Street as a whole is the best section of town, but if I had to get specific, I’d say that the Curious Iguana bookstore is my favorite place.
Frederick Roberts ’22 What motivates you?
Helping others is a major motivator and becoming a nurse of some sort.
What class are you most looking forward to taking at any point in your Hood career?
I am excited for any course that is related to nursing. The more I learn about my profession, the more excited I become to start helping others in that field. I am also trying to take film study courses because I have a major interest in that field.
Favorite study spot?
My favorite spot to study would have to be on the third floor of the library. Because I am a first-year collegiate student-athlete, I was required to obtain four study hall hours per week. I would constantly find myself going over this amount because I would be at the library working on any project or homework. It’s a quiet place to get work done. 28
