Editor’s note: A meaningful college experience is defined as much by academic achievement as by personal growth and good company along the way. While PKU prides itself on being rigorous academically, it also strives to mint a congenial campus environment for making enduring memories. As 2025 winds down, we take a look at the campus and relive the stories that have brought us together, and revisit the PKUers that serve as inspirations for the go-getters.
