University Ambassador Bio

 

 

 

Name: Mary Ellen
Major: Architecture
Year: Sophomore
Hometown: Allentown, PA
 

 

Tell me about your major:
I am currently enrolled in the 5-year bachelors of architecture program.  I am a second year student and am loving what I am doing and learning.  It keeps me busy, but really challenges me.  The program can be pretty demanding, but if you love what you’re learning it’s definitely worth it.

           

Why did you become an Ambassador?
I wanted to get more involved in the university, and really like to talk to and meet new people; so I thought it would be a nice fit.

           

Are you a member of any clubs or organizations?
No, hopefully the AIAS club in the future.

           

What do you like about Philadelphia University? 
I LOVE the city of Philadelphia and being close by to a fun and exciting city.  I also love my major.

 

Do you have any advice for prospective students on tour?
Ask questions! And make sure you feel like you could potentially “fit in” to the environment of the colleges you’re looking at, the setting and surroundings make a big difference.

             

What do you like to do in your free time? 
I like being active; riding my bike, walking around the city; and shopping.

 

Do you like Philadelphia cheesesteak? 
If so, where can I find the best cheesesteak?  No, I am oddly enough not really a cheesesteak fan.  However if I had to choose, I would go to Jim’s on south street.
