Describe your college experience

My transition to college was a journey of discovering where I fit in and trying out new things. Penn is a great place to explore new interests and cultivate your current passions. I was able to find friends through clubs and integrated well into the Penn community. I have loved my Penn experience and I got to do everything I planned to and more.

Tip for future students

Don’t limit yourself. Penn pushes us to be more than just students and explore ALL our passions.

Favorite class

Biopsychosocial criminology: a class that tried to answer the question, “are people born to be murders?”, such an amazing class that lead me to my mentor who guided me into research.

Career goals

I am planning to work in marketing and creative services.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Hang out with friends in center city and eat well!

    Kym is extremely knowledgeable regarding so many aspects of student life at UPenn. This was the best tour we have ever had. Kym is very approachable and welcomes questions throughout the process. Kym has interned with the admissions office and this exposure enables her to bring far more knowledge and perspective to the tour. Highly Recommended!!!
