Favorite thing about TCNJ and HSS

How approachable and caring the professors are. They are truly some of the most supportive educators I've had, and it's super easy to form meaningful and beneficial relationships them.

Favorite spot on campus

The STEM circle. The fountain and scenery of all the buildings is very visually pleasing and is my go-to place to unwind or get some work done.

Advice to new students

Never be afraid to ask for help or assistance. The HSS faculty has been incredibly helpful and understanding when I have questions or concerns. It's easy to feel intimidated by the new college environment and increased academic coursework, but reaching out for assistance will prove to be mightily helpful.
