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.

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.

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.

Advice I would give to incoming students is...

Get involved but not just with clubs but within your major as well. Work with your professors, volunteer at events, get yourself out there! You won’t regret it.
