Former Jonathan Law graduate Nolan McKenna-Hansen is currently a freshman at the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine, where he majors in Sports Management. 

Outside of academics, McKenna-Hansen has a job reffing intramural sports and plays on the basketball team.

Since starting college a few months ago, McKenna-Hansen has made some adjustments to his new environment. 

“The first few months have gone very well,” McKenna-Hansen said. “It took me a little bit to get acclimated to college but now I have more of a routine and I got better with time management.”

McKenna-Hansen’s college experience has been great but he said there is something he misses from being at Jonathan Law. 

“I miss being close to home and seeing friends and family every day,” McKenna-Hansen said. 

Since going to college, McKenna-Hansen had to make some transitions. 

“The biggest change would probably be the mount of freedom and free time you have in college,” McKenna-Hansen said. 

McKenna-Hansen has transitioned off to college and one of the hardest things is being away from family and friends yet Nolan McKenna-Hansen was able to make new friends quickly. 

“The hardest thing about college would probably be just getting away from home and your friends and family,” McKennna-Hansen said. “The easiest thing about college would probably be meeting new people because everyone is in the same boat as you.”

McKenna-Hansen offered some advice to incoming high school freshman. 

“Enjoy high school because it will fly by,” McKenna-Hansen said.
