	Alex Yes, I am a nerd who still finds comfort in her favorite boy band. (Okay, a nerd that’s going to American University.) Learn More >		Alicia I was looking forward to everything, because everything would be new. Learn More >
	Andrew We were the director’s worst nightmare because we’d keep changing things around the night before opening. Learn More >		Annie I love working with a student in the math center and suddenly they understand something they didn’t before. Learn More >
	Bryan You can talk to the faculty about anything. It’s like having an extra set of parents. Learn More >		Chuck Three of us went to Taiwan to present on global economics at a conference. Our faces were on posters all over the city of Chang ‘hau. Learn More >
	Claire I like having responsibility. I like having to do my own laundry. Learn More >		Evan I ran cross country instead of playing soccer. Skied instead of doing the musical. Now I’m looking forward to lots of Latin and biology. Learn More >
	Grant We played Chambersburg, our big rival, in the pouring rain and beat them 4-0. Learn More >		Julie Have a passion for something. Don’t waste your time.. Learn More >

	Magdalena I had a very specific set of criteria, and not many schools met them. Learn More >		Maggie Other schools might think of freshmen as “fresh meat.” Here we think of them as “new friends.” “New cool people.” Learn More >

	Sarah I love walking into breakfast still a little bit sleepy and from across the room hearing a conversation in French or Korean and having those different cultures on campus. Learn More >		Taria I want to go into communications, maybe some day have my own radio show, kind of like Wendy Williams. Learn More >
