Favorite Lewisburg restaurant: Gram's is my favorite because the food is amazingly delicious, the portions are generous, and the variety of offerings is vast.

Bucknell class I'd like to take: There's not one specific class I'd like to take necessarily but I would love to take some classes that are part of our new Real Estate minor.

Top tip for applicants: View the college search and application as one wherein you not only venture to discover institutions that will best suit you but also as one wherein you are doing some self-discovery. Taking personal inventory of who you are and what type of support or environment you need to be your best self is key to helping you identify colleges where you can best thrive. Stay true to yourself!
