Senior: Misericordia has felt like home since the first time I stepped on campus when I was getting recruited to play softball. Since I started at MU in the Fall of 2019, I have since seen the university make state of the art improvements including the gorgeous Henry Science Center where I attend labs, classes, study group sessions, and more. One of my favorite parts about being a student-athlete at Mis is the comradery among the student body and the devotion to service. One of my favorite volunteer opportunities was going to Patriot's Cove which is an organization that was founded by a military veteran and his spouse to empower other veterans, first responders, and their caregivers to heal and adapt to life after service. On campus, Campus Life constantly puts on events to keep students engaged such as Halloween Scavenger Hunts, Christmas Dinner, Midnight Breakfast during finals week, and numerous Welcome Week Activities to make everyone feel at home.

Senior: I love the staff and faculty at Wilkes University! They are so supportive of the students and their first priority really is student well-being. Everyone on campus, students and faculty/staff alike, are invested and engaged in the campus atmosphere to make the community welcoming and fun. My classes are intellectually stimulating and the professors are willing to support the students in any way that they can. Campus life keeps me active and rarely do I fend myself bored with nothing to do. After the first week on campus, it's easy to see that the faces around you quickly become familiar. Wilkes University is a home away from home due to the active student life and activities, but it as also a place to grow your academic career with diligent faculty to support you through your journey....
