Name: Jessica Major: Pre-Med Year: Junior Hometown: Long Valley, NJ

Tell me about your major:
It keeps me very busy!  It is definitely demanding and requires a strong commitment but it has to be one of the most rewarding majors.  Science majors get a more hands on approach to education that other students because we have so many labs. I also really enjoy my major because we are a tight knit group of students and work hard to help each other out.  Plus, I think we learn stuff that is way more interesting than everyone else.

Why did you become an Ambassador?
I knew that becoming and Ambassador would be a very rewarding job.  It allows me to meet lots of new people and to help prospective students make one of the most important decisions in their lives.  It makes me feel closer to the school and I am constantly learning new things about it.

Are you a member of any clubs or organizations?
Being involved on campus makes a huge difference in your college experience.  I am the treasurer of Science in Action, and a member of the Asclepius Society (Pre-Med Society) and an active member of the Honors Student Association.

What do you like about Philadelphia University?
I like the overall environment of the campus.  The school has a very relaxed atmosphere and it is small enough that it is easy to get to know lots of people on campus.  I also like that the school has a small teacher to student ration. I feel that I get a good personal education which also very helpful in my major.

Do you have any advice for prospective students on tour?
Ask lots of questions.  You are going to make a very important decision in your life and you need to know all the important information. Our job is to help answer those questions.

What do you like to do in your free time?
I like to watch Grey's Anatomy and read celebrity magazines.

Do you like Philadelphia cheesesteak? If so, where can I find the best cheesesteak?
Is it wrong if I say no?  I enjoy a cheesesteak every once in a while, usually from Chubby's right down Henry Ave.
