A good tip for Cedar Crest College is to get involved, the more involved a student is the more they feel at home here and it helps them grow as a person. I am currently the Vice president of the Conservation club, Treasurer of Student government, I am a varsity member of the Cross Country team, I am active in volunteering for the community, and I also work as an Ambassador in Admissions. Because I am so involved I have had an opportunity to meet new people, try new things and grow as a person, these experiences have helped me to grow as a person. Also I take full advantage of all the study abroad opportunities on campus, over this last winter break I went to Arizona to study the plant life there, this summer I am going to Guyana to explore the Rain forest and learn about the amazing habitats cultures there.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I am a Biodiversity and Conservation Biology major here at Cedar Crest, and I must say that being a science major here at times can be hard, but if you put in the work and use the tutors provided as well as talking to the professors students can exceed greatly. One thing that I know about being a Science major here is that when I leave here with my degree it will be well earned and I will be better prepared for my field, and well be able to stand out when applying to graduate schools.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love living on campus, it gives me an opportunity to be more connected on campus and I am making more memories with my friends then I ever would if i lived off of campus. Also living in the dorms has helped to break me out of my shell and meet new people that I would not have other wise met or become close with
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food here is pretty decent for college food, and there are plenty of choises. and even when the dinning hall is closed it is easy to stop in the falcons nest to grab a quick dinner before and after class, especially when it comes to dinner time.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I like to hang out with my friends and I am apart of many extra curricular activities on campus. My friends and I like to go off campus and volunteer on the weekends as well as have some late night trips to taco bell.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
At the end of each semester a tradition we have is, on the last day of classes we all get together as a campus and have what we call frolic. We collect in Samuels theater and put on skits and dances for the students to see. After frolic ends we all go upstairs to the dining hall for midnight breakfast, where the Dean of Students serves us breakfast and then we have a dance party in the dining hall. This is just a way for the students to unwind after a hard semester and get all the stress out before Finals start.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus police is very active on campus, there is always an officer on call 24 hours a day, also they do rounds around the campus checking to make sure that all is well, the go through academic buildings as well as residents halls. Also there are emergency polls around campus that when one presses the button it connects you to campus police and they will come to where you are and escort you to where you need to go. I personally have never had to use these but they are good to have around in case students are walking late and want someone to walk with them. I have never felt unsafe at Cedar Crest.
