"Coming to Saint Vincent, I did not know what to expect of the people here. I am from Germantown, Maryland (about 45-50 minutes away from D.C.), and the culture/people are so different back home compared to SVC. People actually open doors for you, say "Hi," and are just generally decent human beings. I have met some really awesome people, and some who have been not so awesome. The communication department is so nice. I am so glad I decided to major in Comm. because the staff is really amazing and is willing to work with you on everything. Being here at Saint Vincent has been pretty solid so far, and I cannot wait to see where the rest of my college career takes me."

“I think the whole point [of college] is to be the best version of yourself that you can be, and that can’t be defined by anybody but yourself. I think that’s why a lot of times people feel stuck; too many people are telling them the ‘right’ way to live. Once you stop letting those people have such an influence, you can start to grow and figure out who you need to be and how you can get there. I still don’t know where I’m going, but I know that I’m on my way.”

"Being that I am a commuter, I spend a great amount of time walking around Saint Vincent’s beautiful campus. With each season, new beauties emerge. Throughout the fall season, I admire the changing of the trees’ leaves as I move from the different buildings. In the winter, I can’t help but marvel at the glistening snow surrounding the “Saint Vincent” shrubs. As spring emerges, the campus comes back to life; all of us students enjoy the warm commute between classes. Finally, as summer arrives, the green leaves and hot air give me the motivation to power through the last few days of class. The beauty of Saint Vincent’s campus is incomparable."

"There are so many advantages to having a work study position. Fortunately, I have the best work study job on campus, the post office. What's not to love about working in the post office? Flexible hours, working for Donna every day and some extra cash in my pocket! I enjoy working with my co-workers as well as having the opportunity to meet and help students and faculty who visit the mail room."

"Matthew is a fabulous employee! He's very likable and popular. I always know that I can count on him to know the right thing to say. Matthew is about as reliable as an employee can come. I know I can trust him to hold down the fort in the post office when I'm out for the day."

"It's difficult for me to choose my favorite memory as a Bearcat thus far. A plethora of new beginnings and opportunities have been presented to us freshmen, since arriving on campus this fall. There's been a lot of change in the past months, but I'm glad to have experienced this first year of transition with close friends. I've met some remarkable human beings and made forever memories in just a few short months. I also can't forget the love and support from my family; having them by my side through this transition means the world to me."

"To me, Saint Vincent offers proximity. Even though I grew up in the outskirts of Latrobe I chose to not go far from home. Family is extremely important to me and coming to Saint Vincent meant that I could be close to the ones I love. In addition, Saint Vincent provides its students with a quality Benedictine education while serving the community of Latrobe. Since I was a little girl I've been a parishioner of Saint Vincent Basilica Parish, so being able to come to college here is just an extra bonus and truly Saint Vincent is a second home to me. It always has been and always will be."

“I believe that the richest places in the world are graveyards. Rich with dreams and ideas, untapped talents, unsaid thoughts, unfinished decisions and missed opportunities. I came to college to achieve an education but to also tap my unknown talents, learn to make strong decisions, seize opportunities and grow as a person along the way. To truly be rich is to live the life your parents dreamed for you to have, to live a life that you can look back on one day and exhale your last breath knowing you have truly done the impossible. To leave no stone unturned, to take on fears and overcome obstacles, and to love and be loved. To be truly happy, a rich life is life well lived, and I believe here in college my fellow compatriots and I have only just begun this journey…”
