My most memorable Behrend experience...

Was giving my first actual open house tour! I loved being able to help prospective students and answer any questions using my own Behrend experience.

The Behrend science program has prepared me for my future career....

In many ways. The nursing program is under the school of science and it, so far, has allowed me to grow my skills as a nurse. The staff makes sure that I am comfortable and confident with everything.

I chose Penn State Behrend...

Because of the smaller sized Penn State experience. This makes the student to professor ratio perfect in the way that it’s easy to reach out and be heard while still being apart of the full Penn State University.

My favorite location on campus is...

The top of the parking garage! The view of Erie is amazing, especially while the sun is setting. Campus and Erie all together looks gorgeous.
