kindness and helpfulness of everyone at Ursinus made all the difference. I truly
felt like part of the community during the first week, thanks to the support and
warm welcome from both the faculty and my peers. Joining the basketball team
also provided me with an instant group of friends and a sense of belonging.

organization events, or social gatherings. This campus life has made my
experience incredibly enjoyable and fulfilling.

What were the challenges of adapting to a new college environment, and
how have you met them?
Honestly, I haven’t faced many challenges adapting to Ursinus. Being part of the
basketball team helped immensely, as it provided me with an instant support
network. The overall friendliness and supportiveness of the Ursinus community
made the transition seamless.

Ursinus?
