Hi everybody,

My name is May Courtney. I am a first year at Haverford. As of right now, I am exploring lots of different classes. I honestly have no idea what my major will be. 

I have lived in North Stonington, CT all my life. However, I consider my "hometown" to be Shelter Island, NY. My family and I have been vacationing on Shelter Island every summer since my mom was two years old. I feel most connected to this town because I have so many fond memories of going to the beach with my cousins. The local year round community is fairly small, but in the summer, the island becomes very busy. The culture of Shelter Island has changed since my mom was little, and the cost of living has sky rocketed. Despite all the changes, my family and I find Shelter Island to be our safe haven where we can relax and renew.

Hi May! I'm from Long Island, NY, so I'm close to Shelter Island. I went when I was younger and I remember enjoying the beaches very much. And yes, I agree that the cost has indeed increased a great deal.
