MEDIA, Pa. — Often sibling relationships get better and more enjoyable as you grow older, and that includes during the college years. Many Brandywine students know this firsthand — the campus currently enrolls at least 20 pairs of siblings and at least five of those pairs are twins.
“I love attending the same college as my twin sister,” said Chloe Przybylski who, along with her sister Claudia, majors in human development and family studies with a civics and community engagement minor. “We only have one car, which works out perfectly. We major in the same field, but we plan on going in different directions.
“I do not think I would have done as well if we were at different campuses because college is so overwhelming,” she added. “We keep each other sane, which is a good thing.”
For those with siblings, having one as a classmate can help you navigate your way as you begin your college career.
"Because we are twins, it's nice to attend a college together,” said Claudia Przybylski. “You already know someone, so it’s not as awkward walking into an unfamiliar place. I like that my sibling is with me at school because it's nice having someone by your side.”
Sharing similar interests with her brother Ben, Hannah Sarafinas said, “I really enjoy attending the same college as my sibling. I believe attending the same college has allowed us to grow closer, and we’re creating memories on campus. Both my brother and I are student athletes on campus which allows us to make friends with each other’s teams.”
