Q.) What is most gratifying and most difficult about being a campus shlucha?

CMB: Being a shlucha on campus is really an amazing experience. There are always little challenges that come up, but no matter what happens I know that I am the Rebbe’s chosen shlucha and I am proud of that title, and I try to live up to it as much as possible.

Q.) How are you finding high school away from home?

CMB: High school away from home is, Baruch Hashem, great!  It is hard to live away from home, and not coming home after school to your parents and siblings and a warm supper, but I know that my family is always there for me from afar! 

Q.) Why would you recommend JGU to other girls?

CMB: JGU is the most supportive, warm community that you can ever find!!  They help reveal the shining star that is inside of you!!  I only have amazing experiences with JGU!!
