Advice I would give to incoming students is...

I would tell a new student to take advantage of all the resources we have to offer! Our school has free tutoring, exploratory services for undecided students, and career services that all help you excel in class and find where you belong. I would also encourage students to make meaningful connections with their professors; speak up in class, go to office hours, and never be afraid to ask for help!

I chose Penn State Behrend...

I chose Penn State Behrend because it is a smaller more intimate campus when compared to some of the other Penn State campuses. On top of that, the natural beauty of the school really drew me in. Both the campus architecture and natural surroundings (like the Wintergreen Gorge) made me love coming to campus every day.

My most memorable Behrend experience...

My most memorable Behrend experience was my first nursing lab. We got to put on our scrubs and were given our skills bag full of materials for the semesters to come. We then got to do many of the skills we'd only read about. It was our first big step into the world of nursing.

My favorite location on campus is...

My favorite spot on campus is the Wintergreen Gorge. The gorge is a great place for a walk after class or to explore all day on the weekend. Between classes, I will spend a lot of time in Bruno's, one of the campus dining halls. It's a great place to do some homework, spend time with friends, and grab something to eat.
