A record 1,509 first-year students make up the College’s Class of 2025. The members of the class come from 50 countries and 40 states, the District of Columbia, and several territories.

“I’m astounded by the resilience these students have demonstrated in finding opportunities to grow and help others amidst a global pandemic,” says Robert Alexander, dean of undergraduate admissions, financial aid, and enrollment management for Arts, Sciences & Engineering.

At the Eastman School of Music, the Class of 2025 includes 130 students from 26 states and seven countries.

Students from both the College and Eastman introduced themselves this summer on an Instagram account—see sample photos above—created by Maveline Nguyen ’25 from Hanoi, Vietnam. Nguyen says she started the page because it helped “incoming students connect with each other on one of the most popular social media platforms with teenagers and young adults.”
