Name: Tanya Major: Architecture Year: Junior Hometown: Sciota, PA

Tell me about your major:
Architecture is very experimental and is full of many creative challenges.  You get to work close with your professors, classmates, and project sites…it’s like moving into a new family.

Why did you become an Ambassador?
I am very extroverted; meeting new and unique people are one of my favorite things in life.  Getting to show people about Philadelphia University gives an exciting meaning to my part on campus.

 Are you a member of any clubs or organizations?
Not any official campus clubs…although, I am a part of a small recycling group with friends and volunteer teaching dance classes for kids ages 5-13.

What do you like about Philadelphia University?
I think of Philadelphia University as Epcot Center in Disney World; I never feel I am in the same place.  I like that I can experience the city, the outskirts of the city, and the park all within 15 minutes of each other. Diversity is a big part of my attitude and Philadelphia University fits that.

Do you have any advice for prospective students on tour? 
Of course! Ask many questions about what there is to do, see, and be on campus.  Finding out the advantages and disadvantages can help decipher if the campus is right for you.

 What do you like to do in your free time? 
As many things as I can! Mostly: writing, art, music, dance, spontaneous adventures, changing my hair color, and bubble baths.

Do you like Philadelphia cheesesteak? If so, where can I find the best cheesesteak?
Mmm yummy.  Forget Pat’s and Gino’s….Steve’s on South and Eighth street (I recommend the buffalo chicken cheesesteak classic).
