What is your favorite TCNJ memory? My favorite memory was Silent Disco! It was one of the first times my friends and I got to spend time together. We got to forget about everything and enjoy the night together. It felt like a community was forming. We enjoyed it so much and still talk about it to this day as juniors!
Where is your favorite place on campus? My favorite place is the Physics and Mathematics Building. I really enjoy studying here as I have formed so many relationships with friends and professors here. The math community is super tight-knit and I feel that as soon as I walk in. I have really found my home here!
Advice for new students: I would say to get involved and put yourself out there! Getting involved at TCNJ was the best decision I ever made. By getting involved, I have found my home and sense of belonging. In addition, putting yourself out there is also crucial. Form relationships with professors and make friends in your classes. These have helped me so much and have made me successful in my time here at TCNJ.
Name a person or office who has supported you in your time at TCNJ: CAPS- My freshmen year I utilized CAPS. I was struggling mentally and CAPS was there to support me through this difficult time!
