Clare Donovan ’20, on the Arcadia Community

My favorite part about Arcadia is the global perspective on education. Four years ago, I would have never imagined that I could be the kind of person to study outside of the country, and now I am planning on going for a year. It’s an amazing opportunity, especially as a history student, to get to immerse yourself in a completely different experience and culture.

The community at Arcadia and getting to be an Orientation Leader and an RA have also inspired me to try and think about others more. Everyone here is so compassionate and driven, and I aspire to be that. It has been kind of a rough year in determining who I am, what I value, and what I want out of life. Arcadia is a place where I feel the most comfortable with myself. The community at Arcadia has been embracing and accepting and is constantly connecting me with new people that have really impacted me as a person.”
