Describe your college experience

I had some trouble finding good friends and things to do my first couple of years but my junior year was amazing. I joined a couple of new organizations and found people that are now my close friends! I also got involved with THON committees my sophomore and junior years and I've made great friends and had a great experience! I also had an amazing experience with study abroad, even though I went into Penn State not planning on doing anything abroad.

Tip for future students

Get involved in whatever sounds interesting! You might not stick with everything but it's a great way to meet people! And don't be afraid to reach out to your RA if there are issues with your roommate; don't wait until things are really bad, RAs are there to help!

Favorite class

Medical Microbiology, it was really interesting to learn about how different diseases work and how microbial pathogens are able to infect humans.

Career goals

Medical or Graduate School

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night would be to get dinner off campus with my friends and then hanging out in someone's dorm​/​apartment just talking and having fun!
