Health Sciences Major
I'm a Health Sciences major, with an emphasis on Pre-Med. I am in love with my major, even though it is definitely difficult. The BS course load is intense, but all the classes are very useful and important foundations for future education. It is hard to fit in all the classes and go abroad if you don't start planning as freshman, but it is possible. We take only 4 classes a semester, and on average, I have 2 labs. There are research opportunities here but I have not been part of them. Overall, it is a difficult major, but the professors are very intelligent and really want you to succeed.

Lots of Variety
A lot of the food you need is found on campus, but if you're looking for a late night meal, a great solution is to go to Lincoln Diner (LDs). It is open 24/7 and is very inexpensive. If you're looking for a good meal during the day, The Pub on the circle is popular, but a little more expensive. It is a great place to take parents for their first time in Gettysburg. The school has a discount program where you can receive between 10-15% off at local coffee shops, ice cream shops and small businesses and hotels. There is also a grocery store within walking distance. Another option is to use the Transit system, which students can ride for free with their student ID, and you can go to the Outlets, Walmart, and other shopping centers.
