My name is Madeline Alonso, and I go by Maddie. I’m originally from Miami, Florida but I moved here from Stafford, Virginia. I chose to come to ODU because not only was it the most financially smart choice for me, but I came to learn that this school has everything I wanted in a university. The environment at ODU has all of the support and resources you could need. In my free time here I like to read books, crochet, go outside, do makeup on myself and others, write, play lacrosse, go to the gym, and see my friends and family.
