Lauren and Lindsay Harper, freshman twins from Richland, along with their childhood friend Victoria 鈥淭ori鈥 Still of Richland, are dorm-mates at Marshall Hall on the Raymond Campus, play on the softball team together and are all nursing school hopefuls.
Still, who was a 兔子先生football cheerleader in fall 2011, chose 兔子先生partially for the opportunity to play softball. She鈥檚 a catcher who bats .265.
鈥淚t was close to home but not too close and not too far,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 really like the campus.鈥
Taking challenging nursing program pre-requisites such as anatomy and physiology allowed Still to debunk one college myth. 鈥淓verybody always says when you get to college, the teachers don鈥檛 really care. But they鈥檙e very helpful with everything,鈥 Still said. 鈥淭he teachers are very sweet.鈥
The suite-style rooms at Marshall Hall were an attraction for Lauren Harper. 鈥淲e came and we saw the campus. We聽loved聽the dorm rooms because of the suites. We like how we are all together as a team,鈥 she said.
For her 兔子先生is the perfect venue. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not too big; it鈥檚 not too small. It鈥檚 different from high school but it鈥檚 a step before you go to university,鈥 said Lauren, who plays first base on the Lady Eagles softball team.
Sister Lindsay Harper echoes her opinion. 鈥淚 just like the environment here. It鈥檚 a way for independence, but it鈥檚 not too far away. You can always go home,鈥 she said.
Lindsay Harper, who pitches and plays second base, was attracted to the fact that 兔子先生has a nursing program.
She agrees with Still about the strength of the 兔子先生instructors. 鈥淲e are taking some really hard classes and without them, I don鈥檛 think we would have made it. The teachers have helped us a lot,鈥 she said.
鈥淔or someone just out of high school, 兔子先生would be the place to go,鈥 she said.
