Cambria in one word: Enthusiastic
What I love about PUC: Everyone is part of a community of thinkers, and the classrooms aren't the only place learning happens. You can find out something new by going to vespers, hanging out in the dorm, or talking to a professor in the market.
Favorite place on campus: Alice Holst Theater, one hour before show time.
My time at PUC has taught me: The beauty of questions, the importance of faith, and that procrastination isn't a wise study technique.

Daniel in one word: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Favorite place on campus: My favorite place would have to be the back trails behind the airport. Spending so many mornings running back there for cross country was just amazing. Some mornings you would be running in total darkness, but being one of the first people to see that sunrise in the morning was always worth it. Also catching up with my friends the chipmunks was awesome too.

Favorite thing about PUC: I love the location. You are in Gods nature but not far from a small city or a large one. The beach, mountains, lake and San Francisco are close by. But the small community atmosphere where you know teachers by first name, know their number and feel comfortable talking to them is totally awesome and advantageous to learning.

Favorite college memory: When I was the editor of PUC's student-run newspaper, The Campus Chronicle, during my junior year.
