Bergen Community College

A.S.

I am currently enrolled in the NJ STARS program at Bergen. I will graduate in May 2008 with an Associate’s Degree in Biology and will transfer to Montclair State University as a NJ STARS II student. I have learned a lot from my professors and have had rewarding experiences at Bergen, including the opportunity to study abroad in Rome, Italy.

I was initially interested in Bergen because my sister attended the College and said that it was a great school. I also chose Bergen because of the NJ STARS program. It provides students with an incredible opportunity to pursue their education in New Jersey. Additionally, Bergen is in a convenient location, which allows me to work in between my classes.

Don't get so wrapped up with obtaining your degree that you lose sight of the beauty that each day holds. Enjoy your time at Bergen because it will be over before you know it.

My favorite academic experience was when I presented an essay that I wrote in a Writing 101 class at a conference at Montclair State University.

I am a member of Phi-Theta-Kappa.
