Advice for the Class of 2029 from our newest alums.

The Class of 2025

“Go to office hours. I’ve grown in such a serious way because of my relationships with my professors, which only exist because I went to office hours.”

SABRINA GRAY ’25 

 

“Branch out! You’ll find a lot of diversity within our campus, and you’ll find your group of people that will last through all four years here, or perhaps even a lifetime.”

IVY TANG ’25 

 

“Take advantage of every opportunity that you are given. There is so much that you can use to really grow and develop as a person. My advice would be just to do everything you can!”

KATIE DUROW ’25 

 

“Explore the area — specifically, go into Philadelphia! There are so many cool things there.”

KATARINA HIRSCHBERG ’25 

 

“Take classes you don’t think you’re necessarily interested in and try new fields of study because you never know what will stick.”

GABRIELLE BARKER ’25 

 

“Say yes to everything because your time here is going to fly by, and you’re going to wish you’d done more because there’s so much to do!”

SADIE DAVIDSON ’25 

 

“Buy more socks than you think you need!”

ISABELLA MASSARELLI ’25 

 

“Do a 360, or do Tri-Co Philly, or ideally both!”

LINDSAY DAMON ’25 

 

“Get out of your comfort zone — everyone is looking for friends, so even if you’re nervous, just go ask someone to get a meal or to hang out. I promise you won’t regret it!”

EMMA GROSS ’25
