About Bryn DePaul

Hi! My name is Bryn DePaul and I was in the William & Mary St Andrews Joint Degree Programme. My major was Classical Studies with a concentration in Ancient History and Archaeology.

Joint Degree Programme (JDP) students attend each university for 2 years. I spent my freshman year at William & Mary, second and third years at the University of St Andrews (in Fife, Scotland) and returned to W&M when I was a senior!

Here’s a little bit about me! I love to work out. Whether it’s yoga, swimming, cycling, or boxing, you will always find me at the gym. I travel a lot! Going to college in Europe granted me incredible adventures and I look forward to more in the future. I also enjoy reading, writing, and fashion.

Being a JDP student has made my college experience far from ordinary, and I am excited to share my experiences and perspectives with you!
