Watch Students Experience F&M

It's a typical spring morning at Franklin & Marshall College — blustery with a hint of sun — and sophomore Yasmin Nicholas is on a mission: coffee.

Nicholas is one of seven students featured in the latest compilation of Instagram student takeovers. Students show you classes, dining, residence halls, rehearsals and the little moments in between to get a true feel for campus life.

Meet first-year student Shayra Nunez; sophomores Aryaa Ogale, Jonathan Izzo, Liz Joslin and Nicholas; junior Muna Sultana; and senior Cristiaan Dailey.

Nicholas, a math and German double major, is joined by a friend after her first class of the day as she makes her way to Mean Cup, a popular java spot close to campus.

Meanwhile, Dailey starts his day with bagel breakfast at Weis College House before walking you through his day as a government major, Spanish minor and co-captain of the wrestling team.

"Enjoy the ride," he says.

Watch the full takeover series on F&M Instagram stories.
