What are your impressions of the campus?
“In general, I really like Penn State Scranton. I like being on a small campus, and I like being able to talk to my professors after class. Also, I’ve made a lot of friends here. Overall, I think I made the right choice.”
What courses have you particularly enjoyed taking?
“My English class, which is an honors class -- I really enjoy it. Honestly, it’s the first English class I’ve actually enjoyed. Coming from high school, I never really enjoyed English. This was the first one where I felt like I learned something. I like that it’s a little more high level, a little more challenging. You get out of it what you put into it.”

How has your time been at Penn State Scranton?
“It’s been great. If you ever have a question, you can always just ask the professor and get your answer. You know there’s going to be no confusion. … The Honors Program here is great – Dr. (Meg) Hatch, my adviser, has been wonderful in helping me through the Schreyer Honors College application. … I’m going to miss the small-campus environment when I go down to U Park. I definitely made the right choice coming here.”
