My most memorable Winthrop experience…
so far was the campus petting zoo. DiGiorgio Student Union coordinated a petting zoo to visit campus that included a llama, highland cow, baby kangaroo, bunnies, and even a capybara. I will not forget walking out of campus center with my lunch to see a pony.
I chose Winthrop because…
of its tight-knit and welcoming community. Every student gets to find their place.
My favorite Winthrop tradition...
is the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony because I love the spirit of the holidays. Everyone gathering around to watch performances and see the tree illuminate is beautiful. The best part is grabbing a cup of hot chocolate and then heading to the street to watch the ChristmasVille Parade.
My favorite spots in Rock Hill are…
Knowledge Perk Coffee Company, Riverwalk Trail, Manchester Village Shopping Center, Downtown Rock Hill, The Roasting Company, and Empire Pizza.
