Bailey is gonna tell us how the convenient location of St. Peter’s University has helped him further enjoy the college experience, and launch him into further career opportunities. Bailey, the floor is all yours.
– Thanks, Alex, I’ll take it from here. Yo, what’s up, guys? My name’s Bailey Canela. I’m currently a senior here at St. Peter’s University studying cybersecurity, and I’m a first generation Dominican American. After graduating high school and transferring from community college, I knew I wanted to continue my academic career at a university that will allow me to take my skills and opportunities to the next level. St. Peter’s did just that for me. From playing pool in the student center, to setting a new personal best in the gym, to learning how to hack drones in the cyber research lab, St. Peter’s University has something for everybody. There are various locations on campus to get a quick bite to eat. But if you’re feeling adventurous, there are many great restaurants and delis all around Jersey City. After class, my friends and I take the St. Peter’s shuttle bus to General Square Station. To then take toward Chase Center train to New York City. It’s amazing how it can go from college classes to the heart of Manhattan in the 10-minute train ride. Being so close to New York allows students to look for jobs and internship opportunities in New York City. Someone once told me, “If there’s anything you wanna do, there’s someone in New York who knows someone who does that for a living.” St. Peter’s is in the perfect place to network with people from New Jersey and New York City. Well, enough talking from me, come through to St. Peter’s University and see for yourself. Over to you, Alex.
– Absolutely, Bailey, this campus is certainly a site you need to see in person. Thank you for showing us a few of the hidden gems on campus, and in the surrounding area, see you around the city real soon, take care.
