I’m looking to be chanced for Skidmore! I absolutely love the college because of everything they stand for. My attraction so Skidmore comes from of course how much emphasis they put on creativity and creative thought because it pretty much completely aligns with my personal philosophy. I absolutely love learning and want to continue doing so all my life but am equally enthusiastic about art and I hope Skidmore is somewhere that I would be able to pursue both, and OF COURSE I love the upstate NY location since I’m an avid ski bum
