A native New Yorker, I move at a fast pace and devour news along the way. At the University of Pennsylvania, I am a rising junior studying communications and creative writing. I am also the City News Editor of our independent newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian and have previously written for the New York Observer. A Forbes intern this summer, I write about the ways in which financial pressures impact the higher education experience and beyond. Whether in choosing a major or a social circle, money is a constant decision factor for some. Follow me as I uncover these stories @lauren_feiner.
