All month, UP is releasing articles to help the Class of 2020 hit the ground running when they move in. Check out our past blog posts here.

At UP’s Reunion in June, we asked alumni to offer some tips, anecdotes, and advice to the Class of 2020!

“Enjoy the social events!” — Allie ’16

“The people that we met our freshman year are our best friends!” — Jen, Jenny, Dianne, Susan, Chris and Jim ’86

“Go to class!” — John ’86

“Be passionate about what you study (and stay in school!)” — Trey ’11

“Respect your professors. Know what they taught you, what they are teaching you, and what they are going to teach you. If you follow this, you won’t need to study for finals — enjoy!” — George ’54

“Make life-long friends.” — Mark ‘84, Sue ’83, Natalie ’84
