Hey my name is Linda Lehmkuhle, and I am a junior transfer student from Ohio. I came from a small private Catholic university (the University of Dayton) to the wonderfully diverse and much bigger USC. My reason for transferring is mainly that UD does not have a Nursing program, and I wanted to switch to Nursing and to find a university that offered a great Nursing program. USC made my transfer process extremely easy for me, and I received excellent feedback and all my questions were answered quickly during my time of uncertainty. I am also in the Army ROTC program down here, which I was also at UD. I hope to someday soon be an Army Nurse! The ROTC program here is excellent because of such a motivating, rewarding, and optimistic atmosphere. If you seek a very self-rewarding and team-building experience during college, I highly recommend trying out Army ROTC. They also offer some great scholarships too!

I am very impressed with the USC campus. There is always somewhere to go, an activity to do, or a show to see. I never feel "stuck" in my dorm room. There is always a place to explore, whether it be a park, museum, or just getting to know this beautiful campus. It is definitely a relief for me to finally get to know myself more by being placed in this diverse setting. I was suffocating from attending a private Catholic high school and university where there was very little diversity. I'm from a very small town and have an extremely big family, which I am very proud of.

My parents, bless their hearts, have 10 children including me. The oldest is 32 and the youngest is 5. The most difficult thing for me being so far away from home is not seeing my little 5 year old sister, Gabby. She is the greatest, and I love her more than anything!

Some of my hobbies and interests include traveling, reading, spending time with family, watching movies, playing frisbee, soccer, running, learning Spanish, camping, hiking, visiting the elderly, and studying the Amish culture. Let me tell you, being a college student is an important time to take time for yourself and to nourish your true interests for your own personal fulfillment!
