We scoured the BJC to find out how freshmen are enjoying their first THON.

“At first it’s pretty exhausting, but you get used to it. It’s really amazing, but the thought of staying until the end is is a little nerve racking!”

Nicole Finkelstein, Jordan Shapio, Mollo Kiumhol / AOPi

“ This is the most life changing experience ever. It’s an amazing atmosphere, and it’s so cool to experience with all of greek life.”

“It’s definitely worth waiting in line for.”

Kristen Williamson / Club Gymnastics
