Hello! My name is Brandon Roberts. I'd love to talk with you about my Knox experience.

My favorite spot on campus:
Definitely the Library room across from the Red Room with the sofas and all the anthologies.

Professor a new student should absolutely take a class with:
Joan Huguet; she can make Music Theory accessible to even the most tepid music student, while also really challenging the students who want to dive deep.

Best thing I've done since coming to Knox:
Joining the Cherry St. Combo; the joy of being in a band full of cool people cannot be overstated. 

My most challenging class so far:
Probably History 235: Germany in the 19th Century; the work required to get through the readings for each week and write the papers has made me a fundamentally better student, I think.
