Favorite thing about TCNJ

One of my favorite things about TCNJ is the strong sense of community on campus. There's something special about how everyone here genuinely supports one another, whether it's through academic challenges, extracurricular activities, or just day-to-day life. It's a place where students lift each other up, create lasting friendships, and encourage one another to succeed. This positive, inclusive atmosphere makes TCNJ feel like a second home, and it's one of the main reasons why I love being part of this college.

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spot on campus is the Education Building terrace. It feels like its own little outdoor space, and it's especially nice in the spring for studying or hanging out between classes.

Advice to new students

My advice for incoming students is to say yes to everything. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, join new clubs, attend events, or explore different interests. You never know what might spark your passion or help you grow.
