I had so much fun! Training for the job began during the spring semester and I got to build such strong friendships with my teammates, both professional and student. Also it was really fun to be able to interact with so many students from the incoming class!
What I wish was different
I wish the overnight freshmen weren’t staying so far away from where we were staying - it made being an overnight PL even more demanding because we couldn’t sleep until late and then still had to wake up super early to get across campus, get ready, and be in Holten Plaza in time for work.
Advice
Be yourself! It was so much fun, and even though the hours are pretty demanding you’ll get to make connections with so many people and the lessons I’ve learned are helpful in so many ways outside of the job!

What I liked
I liked that we got the opportunity to share our experience here at Mason with the incoming freshman. I also liked how the team worked together to meet the needs of the other students.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more bonding time with the students and had more energy during the games and travel times we had.
Advice
Advice I would give it to never stop yourself from gaining new experiences and getting out of your comfort zone
