When Nate McCann was making plans to transfer from Northwest Vista College, he knew he had a number of big choices ahead of him, and a number of things to consider. Angelo State University seemed to be just the right fit. “I chose ASU because of its size,” he says. “And the financial aid package they offered made it one of my most affordable options.” He also liked the fact that ASU is relatively close to San Antonio and his home town of Helotes, so going home on the weekends is always convenient.
Set to graduate in Spring 2011, Nate is a Communications major who has made the Dean’s list in both 2009 and 2010. He notes a number of campus resources that have helped him excel at ASU.
“The Porter Henderson Library has helped me tremendously with different research projects,” he says. “I’ve also used the Writing Center to proofread papers and get help with my writing skills.”
But it’s not all academics for Nate. “I play various intramural sports,” he says. “I love being involved in the Film Club. I attend ASU volleyball, basketball and football games and other sporting events.”
When asked what advice he’d give a potential transfer student, his answer is simple: “Get involved in as many activities as possible and enjoy college while you can.”
