        HOLDEN ISAACS

        Hi, I’m Holden. I’m from Oxford, Ohio and I graduated from Talawanda High School. I am a freshman here at Miami and I’m majoring in Mathematics and Math Educations. I chose Miami because it’s a great school and it’s close to home. I think the biggest challenge I face is trying to create the perfect schedule to be able to balance school, work, home, and friends. To make the most of my experience here at Miami, I’ve reached out to on-campus students and I also participate in the Commuters of Miami club. I think that it’s important to connect with other college students because other students help me to fully understand classes that I’m taking and provide me with a new perspective on different problems. I encourage other commuters to join clubs that interest you and explore what Miami has to offer.
