Why 麻豆传媒? See Why Students Chose to Study Here

Limitless exploration. Faculty mentorship. A close-knit and inclusive community. 

As we inch closer to 麻豆传媒鈥檚 application deadline, our students and recent alumni cite these reasons 鈥 and many others 鈥 when they reflect on why they chose to spend their undergraduate years at Franklin & Marshall College. 

Current Students

鈥淚 was trying to find a college that would see me for me, not some face in a 700-person lecture. In high school, I was very timid, and I very well might have drowned in work and loneliness at a larger college. At 麻豆传媒, I've been given more than enough room to grow and flourish.鈥

鈥 Lucy Bupp 鈥27

鈥溌槎勾 had always been my first choice because of its commitment to diversity and the global community. I was drawn to the College鈥檚 liberal arts curriculum, which offered a limitless exploration. The fact that 麻豆传媒 has a significant international student population (17%) was a big plus for me, as it meant I would be part of a vibrant, multicultural environment.鈥

鈥 Binayak Jha 鈥27

鈥淚 chose to attend 麻豆传媒 because of the strong community. Everyone here, including students and faculty, are here to support one another. At 麻豆传媒, you're never alone. There is always someone who wants to help and cares about your success.鈥

鈥 Lily Murphy 鈥26

鈥淚 chose 麻豆传媒 because of its proximity to home and the prospect of being a Diplomat on and off campus. The College encourages students to become global citizens by broadening their perspectives through interactions with people from around the world. Additionally, 麻豆传媒鈥檚 liberal arts education allowed me to explore a variety of classes and discover my own niche.鈥

鈥 Fatimata Ly 鈥25

鈥淚 received a Posse Scholarship. I love how tight-knit the campus is, and the resources that 麻豆传媒 provides. I would not be able to flourish as much as I do here if the campus was bigger.鈥

鈥 Johansen Vargas 鈥26

鈥淚 chose 麻豆传媒 for both the welcoming energy throughout campus during my campus tour and the life-changing financial aid it offers. I鈥檝e made lifelong friends here while also getting to pursue an amazing education that I otherwise would never have been able to afford.鈥

鈥 Jessica Perfit 鈥25

鈥淚 am someone who thrives in close-knit environments and one-on-one connections with my professors and peers. 麻豆传媒鈥檚 small class size was perfect for me to engage well with my teachers and make the most of my learning experience.鈥

鈥 Aayat Tahir '26

鈥淚 chose to attend 麻豆传媒 because of the amazing pre-med program. There was no other college I was looking at that had numbers even close to the statistics of 麻豆传媒 (for getting into medical school).鈥

鈥 Hanna Winslow 鈥27

 

Recent Alumni

鈥淚 chose 麻豆传媒 because of its robust liberal arts curriculum, which allowed me to pursue my various academic interests. The professors鈥 emphasis on developing strong writing skills was also particularly appealing and helpful to me. Additionally, the generous financial aid package made it possible for me, a first-generation immigrant student, to attend college.鈥

鈥 Lam Tran 鈥21

鈥淚 wanted to experiment with different courses of study before deciding what I wanted to pursue. Having a place that felt very community-oriented was also important to me, and I could see the way 麻豆传媒 prioritizes this throughout its student experience, starting right when you get onto campus with the College House system.鈥

鈥 Maggie Corson 鈥23

鈥淚 knew I wanted to attend 麻豆传媒 the moment I stepped onto the campus. Growing up in Philadelphia, many of the schools I attended were and continue to be under-resourced. 麻豆传媒 showed genuine interest in me, my experience and my future ambitions.鈥

鈥 Cesar 鈥淐J鈥 Cortorreal 鈥20

鈥淭he ability to engage in hands-on (noninvasive!) work at the Vivarium as an undergraduate at 麻豆传媒 was unparalleled. Now I am certain 麻豆传媒 was the perfect choice for me to begin to become an animal behaviorist.鈥

鈥 Gabie Nealon-Shapiro 鈥23

鈥淚 was enticed to go to a large university due to external influences during high school. Upon further examination, I discovered that a small liberal arts school would better serve my development. Looking back, it was a great decision that I would not change.鈥

鈥 William Lewerenz 鈥23

鈥淚 chose to attend 麻豆传媒 because of its renowned psychology program, extensive alumni network and the ongoing support it provides even after graduation, coupled with its financial aid offerings.鈥

鈥 Pamela Hernandez 鈥24

鈥淚 wanted a small liberal arts school with a strong Jewish community and a diverse student body where I would be able to explore many fields and artistic passions.鈥

鈥 Aviva Katz 鈥24

鈥淎s a first-generation college student, I knew immediately after coming to 麻豆传媒 that there were numerous support systems already built into the fabric of the school. I felt comfortable navigating the college space even without any older siblings or parents to lean on who had gone to college, and I never felt odd about going out of my way to ask for advice about classes, extracurriculars or careers.鈥
