Biography
My name is Patti and I am a 4th year Environmental and Conservation Biology major. My hometown is the "Christmas City" (Bethlehem, PA ), but I have officially fallen in love with Philadelphia and don't plan on leaving any day soon! I love being so close to the intense culture and energy of the city and at the same time, a 5 minute walk from the forests of Fairmount Park and great biking trails. In addition to working in the admissions office, I am in Philly U's Christian fellowship club, Cornerstone, and I lead a ladies Bible study on campus.

Advice for students applying to college: When considering schools to apply to, don't just look at if they have your program or not. Decide whether you want to be close to a city or not, if there are any particular clubs you are looking for, if you need a school with awesome D1 sports teams or an awesome all-star faculty. Schools have different personalities and it definitely takes more than a quick look at their website to see if that personality fits you. Go for a campus tour, talk to students in the program you're looking at, e-mail the professors you'll have...You'll be spending about 4 years at this place; put forth the effort to make sure it will be a good fit for you!
