Hello. My name is An Nguyen and I'm currently an undergraduate in Biomedical Engineering at Penn State Harrisburg. My home country is Vietnam.

I love learning new things, especially stories through books, people, and experiences. I have quite a hectic lifestyle, but enjoy peaceful times when I spend hours patiently baking, making good coffee and enjoying it with a good book or a beautiful landscape..... when life is not always about values or meanings, it is just us living.

I’m Nouf Altwayjiri from Saudi Arabia. One of my dreams was to study abroad and here I am a first-year student studying business, hoping to major in finance. I love to try new experiences and learn more about new things. I love to dance a lot and I used to do ballet when I was young. I love to take walks just to see nature and to clear my head.

Hello, I'm Mohamed! I’m currently in my junior year, majoring in pre-med with a deep fascination for neuroscience, a field that just blows my mind with its endless mysteries and intersections with many different fields. When I'm not buried in textbooks or lab reports, you'll catch me out playing soccer or basketball, living for that adrenaline rush and team spirit. Balancing the life of an aspiring medical student with my love for sports, I guess you could say I'm aiming for that perfect blend of work and life balance, making every moment count. Kicking off my college career, I faced quite a few hurdles in chasing this goal, but those challenges taught me valuable lessons. That's exactly why I'm aiming to be a mentor to help guide other students through this journey, sharing insights and strategies to best adapt and thrive in this new environment
