Meet Anna Warring, a transfer student from Houston, TX!

Anna transferred to Missouri State University from Limestone University. Anna is pursuing the Data Science major. Anna is a member of the Acrobatics & Tumbling team and the Honors College and is a math tutor in the Bear CLAW.

When asked why Anna chose to transfer to Missouri State University, Anna said, “Athletics was a big part of it. After my university closed, getting the opportunity to join the Acro team in its second year at MSU and help build up the team was exciting. I also loved the campus and campus environment”

Anna explained that, while MSU’s campus “felt like home”, navigating campus was a challenge in the beginning. Anna says, “I had to use a map to get around campus for the first few weeks because the academic buildings are more scattered across campus than they were at Limestone.” Anna has gotten the hang of navigating campus now and enjoys attending campus events. Anna says the events are the most enjoyable part of the transfer experience because “there are always so many things happening on campus. And I don’t feel like I have to bring people with me – if I go to an event, I will always be able to find someone to talk with.”

Anna’s advice for a new transfer student would be to, “Do your research! Look at the website. Learn as much as you can about the programs offered and the University as a whole.”

Anna would like to take this opportunity to thank the people who have made the most impact on her transfer experience – her parents (“for being a good sounding board as I figured out where to transfer”), Coach Kimmy Adkins (“she was incredible throughout the whole recruitment process”), and Scott Handley (“he made it so easy to join the Honors College”). Go Bears!
