My advice would be to defi nitely get involved with on campus activities by joining clubs or organizations because that is a great way to make friends and having great friends will make going to school so much better!

Sophomore year I went to a Philly’s game at Citizens Bank Park. I went with my entire sorority and it was one of the funnest days that I’ve had while in college! I ate crabfries from Chickie’s and Pete’s for the fi rst time and the Philly’s won the game!

Don’t be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone! There’s nothing worse than regretting something that you wish you had done because fear was holding you back. Live a little.

Nothing welcomes you to your freshman year at college than a World Series parade in Center City. This was when the Phillies won the 2008 World Series and it has been one of my fondest moments here in Philadelphia. What made it even better was the fact that it was Halloween, so obviously it wouldn’t be acceptable if I didn’t dress up as Pocahontas as well. GO PHILLIES!

Join activities, explore Philadelphia, and take advantage of the opportunities the school has to offer you! I am a senior now and although I have reaped many benefi ts there are still so many other things I wish I did! And lastly smile and breathe! It will all be ok =)

My advice is to not always stress about the school’s status that you are applying to because you could apply to the best school in the world and never get the most out of it or be successful. You need to choose a school that feels right and you can see yourself being involved in, but will also assist you in making connections. You make your own opportunities and everything happens for a reason. That is the key to success!

I really love Pinterest. It’s a great place to get inspiration and just see what’s out there
in the world. I get a lot of design project ideas, DIY
ideas and even outfi t ideas from Pinterest Boards. Take advantage
of all the amazing opportunities offered to you as a college student. Your college years will truly be the best years of your life.
This summer I went to Made in America Fest on the Ben Franklin Parkway. It was a huge concert with some major stars. My friend and I even got to take some funny photos in the photo booths. It was a day to remember.

Keep in mind that you go to college to prepare for the work force after school so don’t choose a school based on social life or party schools. Ask yourself what type of environment is best for you to learn in and get to know schools before choosing one.

Pinterest because it is very inspiring. You can create boards for all of
your interests and follow people who love the same things you do. Get involved starting
freshmen year by fi nding a group or club on campus that you really like. Also, explore the area if you’re not from Philadelphia! There’s so many cool places in center city.
The Mummers Parade takes place in Center City on New Years day. It was exciting to be there because part of Broad Street and the area by City Hall and Love Park are blocked off for the parade. It was fun to see all the different costumes and performances. My favorite was the candy themed group.

Pinterest because it has everything from cool recipes to cool craft ideas to inspirational
quotes. Visit your top choice school before deciding. It sounds dorky but you really do get that feeling that the school is right for you. I was dead set on another school and only toured PhilaU because my parents made me, but from the moment I got here something just felt right. If your gut isn’t telling you that you belong, then it’s not the right school for you. Oh, and enjoy your senior year of high school because you will never get that time back!

Molly PakThere are so many parts of Philadelphia that I enjoy and so much I have yet to explore! But, one of my favorite places to visit is LOVE Park in Center City. Besides the magnifi cent view of the Ben Franklin Parkway and the Art Museums, I enjoy this hub bub spot for its liveliness! There are so many people from tourists to newlyweds to working city folk crossing through this square. Also, this is where many of my closest memories of being a START (Orientation) Leader were made. LOVE Park was the starting location in a city-wide scavenger hunt that we would be able to take new students on to get to know the city. Bonds and friendships were formed at the LOVE sign and I will never forget it!

Pinterest! I am big into doing things
myself rather than just purchasing them! It has so many great ideas.
Don’t feel pressured to know what you want to do right away. Keep an open mind and try everything you may have a passion for. College is all about learning who you are and what you want to do in the future so you can’t possibly be expected to know right out of high school. Have fun!

Jesse RabinowitzI think this is Board Game Art Park. I love running around this place. The positioning and accessibility of the art pieces provides for multiple forms of interaction. You can sit on them, jump over them or off them, or climb them. Also it’s right across the street from Love Park. The whole square is elevated from the street. It keeps you from the business of the city and allows you to stop and go at your own pace.

My advice for future students is to make sure you spend time trying to fi gure out what you want in life. Getting good grades and working hard is all good, but you can’t be truly happy unless you know who you are and what your true goals are in life. Discover yourself and never be afraid to express who you really are inside. In a campus with so many diverse people, it isn’t hard to be exactly who you want to be.

Marah LightThe food was phenomenal served in a traditional Moroccan style. We knew it was going to be a great meal when they came out with rose water to wash our hands. Also we were surrounded by pillows. It was nice to eat a meal slowly and savor each dish, which is so unlike American style food. South Street was only a block away from the restaurant so its nice to plan a day walking around there and then going to Marrakesh in the evening.

You make your own experience. It does not matter where you go to school if you stay locked up in your room all day you will never enjoy yourself. In college, it’s about opening up your mind and really exploring the new life you have! You are going to meet some amazing people. You will learn a whole lot about yourself and the major you have chosen. Enjoy the ride!

Nicole VitalMy freshmen year a group of my friends and I went to Valanni, an upscale restaurant in Philadelphia’s City Center during Restaurant Week. The picture of me is with my awesome vegetarian paella. Since that delicious meal, we have taken advantage of Restaurant Week’s 35 dollar dinner option at some of Philadelphia’s most expensive restaurants. It’s a nice chance to get all dressed up and enjoy a wonderful meal.

Rachael C. DautrichIn the fall of my freshman year, my life group took a tour to the Philadelphia Art Museum. I love the Art Museum because as a PhilaU student we get in for free. Its a great place to visit over and over again. I’ve been there several times and still have not been able to see everything in the museum.

Pinterest, I love how it’s set up and that it is a
collection of things that people are teaching
you or just something to enjoy looking at. To pursue your dream job, if
you work hard while attending Philadelphia University you will achieve everything and anything you want to do but you have to do your part to accomplish this. Also take advantage of the resources here and talk to your professors they know more people in the industry than you could ever imagine.
I’m leaving capogiro in this picture and I love to go there for their gelato it’s the best!

Instagram because people can’t express their lives through words, only through pictures and a picture says a
thousand words.

Be yourself and be outgoing. Also, eat your fruits and vegetables...

My favorite social media site is probably Facebook because it allows me to keep in contact with my friends
from home and high school that I don’t get to see as often.

Sara Driban The pictures I attached are from midnight ice skating at the rink near/on University of Pennsylvania’s campus. I had fun going out with my friends and taking a break from schoolwork to relax for a while! Even if we did fall a lot.

As prospective students, I would say you should defi nently ask a lot of questions! You want to make sure you are going to the school that matches your personality best! You have to be able to picture yourself at this school for the next 4 to 5 years of your life and be happy of your choice.

My advice to the perspective students would be to just be yourself! Everyone is in the same predicament that you are in and are scared/nervous/excited all in one rollercoaster of emotions. So put yourself out there for who you really are and let the rest fall into place. These next four years are going to fl y by, and you have to enjoy them with people that you’ll never forget in a city that is full of life!
