Many students face a challenge at UConn trying to balance academics with their social lives and involvement in interests outside the classroom. Luke Anderson encounters this, as well. However, Anderson seemingly has more activities to coordinate. For example, he is a University Scholar, working toward dual degrees in nutritional sciences and anthropology with a minor in math, and needs to prioritize leadership responsibilities. Here is what he said in an interview.
What attracted you to UConn? My high school in Tolland had about 200 students in the graduating class, and I wanted a bigger school where I had more choices of what to study. I also wanted a college that offered many clubs and activities to choose and had a diversity of people to get to know. UConn’s affordability and academic standards appealed to me, as well.
What is your major, and why did you choose it? I am getting a dual degree in nutritional sciences and anthropology with a minor in math. I knew I wanted a field where I could help others.
