Hi everyone! My name is Ellie Simon, and I’m from Norman, Oklahoma. I’m a prospective Classics major, archaeology minor. I love to read (my favorite book is the Brothers Karamazov), spend time outside (typically on my bike), and drink coffee (my go to is an Americano). My favorite thing about Carleton is the normalization of being an amateur at things–whether it’s rock climbing, resin jewelry making, or board games, everyone is welcome, no matter the skill level. My favorite study spot on campus is the tip-top of the alumni guest house–it’s the best view on campus!
