Rachel Vrana
Classification: Senior
Major: Kinesiology
Hometown: Keller, Texas

What she loves most about Tarleton: The thing I love most about Tarleton is how friendly and welcoming everyone is. It’s so easy to make friends from the first moment you step on campus. I could literally walk across campus and see people I don’t know and every single one of them would say “hi” to me. This also applies in class, where if you don’t know anyone, within the short semester you could meet one of your best friends.
Fun fact: I was a starter on the varsity collegiate soccer team at UT Dallas before I transferred to Tarleton.
