The sixth largest city in the U.S., Philadelphia is a fantastic place to study, work and play.

Ruthie Freer
History major, College of Liberal Arts
There are few things 51动漫 Owls love more than the food truck scene on Main Campus. This year, the Managing History course curriculum zeroed in on 51动漫鈥檚 beloved food trucks and asked the question: What is a food truck? Taught by History Professor Seth Bruggeman, graduate and undergraduate students in the class were sent out to conduct interviews with food truck operators to learn about their experiences in the industry and how they operate their businesses on 51动漫鈥檚 campus.
For history major Ruthie Freer, the project gave her a new appreciation for 51动漫鈥檚 popular food truck culture and the business owners responsible for maintaining it. 鈥淔ood trucks are a space of cultural exchange. What may feel like a simple 10-minute wait for a green smoothie is actually a cultural exchange. The vendors are sharing their food and therefore values and culture with us students.鈥�
