The professors were supportive and made sure that you would leave BU as a successful educator. I also loved that Bloomsburg offered a variety of opportunities for me to grow in my field of experience. I was able to participate in clubs like tutoring, NCTE, and Future Teachers club. These opportunities allowed me to attend conferences, and get my feet into classrooms before I even student taught."

"Lehigh's graduate programs allowed me to continue learning and developing my career with a schedule that fit around my day job as a teacher. As a local university, Lehigh has great relationships with the Bethlehem Area School District and our community. I also took a college course at Lehigh when I was still in high school thanks to a dual enrollment program. Therefore, my academic journey at Lehigh actually bookended by higher education experience, since Lehigh was the first college course I took and also my most recent graduate program."

"If you are looking at Lehigh University, make sure that you take a tour, contact the regional representative, follow them on Instagram, and engage in other activities that they track as "points of contact." They want you to show interest if you want to be admitted."

"I also immensely enjoyed my time at Moravian. I was intimidated entering the program because I had to complete a Thesis, but the professors and my classmates were so supportive that it ended up not being nearly as terrifying as I initially thought. The classes offered in my program were extremely relevant and based in real life application through the university's implementation of action research. I loved that everything I learned in my classes transferred into my classroom at LHS. I enjoyed my time there so much that I have become an adjunct professor at Moravian for their Curriculum and Instruction course in the ELA classroom."

"I loved the size of Moravian because it allowed me to build personal relationships with my

professors, who provided one-on-one instruction and pushed me to achieve a high standard of academics. The academic support I received was a major factor in my growth as both a student and a person.

The campus itself is beautiful in every season, but I especially loved the fall, when the changing leaves transformed the courtyard into something straight out of a movie. Another highlight was the close proximity to many local eateries, which made the college experience even more enjoyable. I loved walking to Potts Hot Dogs for a chili cheese dog or grabbing a cheeseburger hoagie from Carls. A favorite local spot for my teammates and I was Fratelli’s for pizza. Having all of these places within walking distance made it easy and fun to hang out with friends and grab a bite to eat.

For students considering Moravian, I would encourage you to embrace its tight-knit community, dedicated faculty, and welcoming atmosphere. Moravian is a place where you can truly grow academically, athletically, and personally while building lifelong connections."

Mr. Marshaleck (Bing) - Science Department

"The Razorback school spirit is hard to describe. It's about loyalty and intensity. “Woo Pig Sooie!” is still ringing in my ears and if you have known me long enough, it's ringing in yours too. Being part of that community showed me how much pride and energy a university can bring. This pride extends to my relationship with Liberty. It's not just a school, it's a family."

Advice to Future Liberty Students:

"Your journey doesn’t have to be a straight line. College is as much about finding your people and your passions as it is about earning credits. Be open to new experiences and don’t be afraid to pivot if you realize a different road is the right one. And wherever you go, lean into the school spirit. You’ll be surprised how much it enhances your life and connection."

Mr. Johnson - Health and PE Department

"My time at Penn State was some of the best years of my life. I made lifelong friendships, gained a valuable education, and formed lasting memories. The campus life is incredible, the athletic scene is top-rate, and, with 40,000+ students on campus, it's easy to find people with shared interests.."

"Focus on academics and don't be afraid to start your Penn State career at a branch campus or in the Summer Session after graduation. Admission to University Park is getting more and more challenging each year (especially for in-state students) so keep your options open. Once you're on campus, get involved with as much as you can as soon as you're comfortable. Joining clubs/teams/student groups has a unique way of making a massive campus feel like home. If you ever have questions about the university, feel free to chat with me!"

"I graduated from Penn College (PCT) with a Bachelor's of Science in Construction Management.  I chose Penn College because it has one of the only Construction Management programs in Pennsylvania; which I found to be one of the best in the country.  I was involved in the Construction Management Association at Penn College and ran Cross Country for the school.  During my four years at PCT, I experienced traveling the US and attending national construction management competitions.  We typically placed in the top 5 in those competitions which is a testament to a smaller college competing against other large universities throughout the country.  Penn College is a great school overall, offering 2 and 4 year degrees for hands-on programs and professional programs.  A Penn College graduate of any program has an incredible job placement rate higher than most universities.  For me, this job placement allowed me to select my internship opportunities with nationwide Construction management firms.  All of the major construction companies in the US know about Penn College.  I truly enjoyed my time at PCT and loved the head start it gave my career and family.  Oh, and the Williamsport, PA area is great for outdoor enthusiasts offering wonderful kayaking, hiking, and fishing which are my pastimes."

"Gettysburg was the perfect distance from home for me. It was far enough away from Bethlehem, but close enough that if I wanted to come home for a weekend or event, I could. Further, Gettysburg provided me an enormous flexibility in being able to travel and study abroad for a full year. I also was able to compete on the tennis team while I was at Gettysburg."

Why Gettysburg?

"Gettysburg has TOP TEN FOOD on college campus. It was definitely a great side reason to not only visit, but to attend there. The faculty are tremendous and incredibly supportive and it is close enough to DC to spend a summer on campus and intern at the capital if needed! Go Bullets!"
