About Ben:

Why Saint Joseph's University?
Saint Joe's has given me the freedom to dive into challenging coursework with caring professors and mentors, all while leaving me time for extracurriculars that have accelerated my personal and professional growth.
The biggest part of my growth throughout college has been forcing myself out of my comfort zone and saying yes to more. It can be intimidating at first to get yourself involved, but it becomes second nature the more practice you have, and in that comes opportunity that you might've not even known existed.
https://www.sju.edu/admissionBen's advice for selecting a College or University:
Look for somewhere with the opportunities that will help you grow both personally and socially. A big part of college is finding yourself as well as your likes and dislikes. The more there is on and around campus, the more you have to expose yourself to in your time there.
I interned last summer with the Capital Markets team at WSFS Bank, and this upcoming summer I will be interning with JP Morgan as an CIB MMBSI Summer Analyst!

Find Your College Fit
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNTXTGYY?tag=uuid10-20 Many students get caught up in rankings, reputations, and the frenzy of high-stakes college admissions, wasting their time applying to colleges that aren’t right for them. Or they settle for the cheapest possible college they can find because they don’t realize that the right college will offer them merit aid to attend.
