Hi everyone my name is Erika Cristiano and I am a freshman in the Division of Undergraduate Studies. Im still unsure of what I’m going to major in but I am currently exploring majors in the Smeal College of Business. I am from Brooklyn, New York which is about five hours from State College, PA. A common misconception about Brooklyn is the ridiculous accents seen on TV and the belief that it is full of violence and “gangs”. This is not true!! If you have never been to New York I strongly suggest you take a trip there. It is unlike any other city in the world, it is a city that never sleeps and is crawling with entertainment at all times. The food is to die for and the skyscrapers will take your breath away!
Im taking this course mostly because I was never interested in science in high school and saw this class as an opportunity to appreciate it more and discover how it relates to everything we do on a daily basis. Also this class fulfills a General education requirement for my major. I decided not to major in science because all throughout high school I dreaded going to Chemistry and Physics class. I always found it to be useless information and never really saw an interest in learning more about it.
Here is a picture of my favorite sign in Brooklyn! “Fuhgeddaboudit”
Hey Erika Cristiano, my name is Alex Senat and I’m also from Brooklyn, New York. I live in Crown Heights if you know where that is. I agree with you our city is honestly the best.

Hi Erika!
I’m from Westchester, so I only live about 30 minutes from you! I want to live in Brooklyn after I graduate college, you still get the city feel but also have a little more space than you would in Manhattan. Also, I love the food! Its so funny that people thing of Brooklyn as being violent or sketchy because it is so up and coming , especially recently! As much as I love Penn State, nothing compares to the city!
Also, for whatever reason, the picture that I chose is not posting correctly… So here is the link to that as well: http://www.denverroofingcontractors.co/userfiles/100216/images/evergreenlake.gif
Hello!
My name is Jenny Eberhardt and I am from Doylestown, PA; I am originally from Colorado. I am majoring in Broadcast Journalism and triple minoring in French, International Studies & Sociology. I am taking this course because my advisor recommended it and I thought I would be a good candidate scene as how I am not really a science person, per say.
I am not a science major because I’ve already crossed that career path. I was originally accepted into Eberly College of Science as a pre-med major, but have since made other decisions.
