Want to be a world traveler? A mathematic researcher? An Ultimate Frisbee player? A fraternity brother? At Alma College, Jackson junior Alex Hegedus doesn’t have to choose among his interests.
“You are able to do so many different things at Alma,” he says. “Friends at bigger universities say they have to pick one extracurricular and stick to that, so if I wanted to play Frisbee, I could only play Frisbee. But here it’s possible to make friends in so many different areas and be involved in so much.”
