Hello! My name is Orlando, and I am currently a 2nd-year student majoring in Legal Studies and Chicano Studies, with a minor in Public Policy. I am originally from SoCal, so it's a big transition into the Bay Area. I participated in the UCEAP study abroad program, with France as my host country. During my free time, I enjoy working out, exploring the Bay Area, and being with my friends.

Describe your college experience

My college experience has been amazing so far. I have been able to involve myself with multiple different clubs on campus. I have also been given the opportunity to study abroad, which has changed my life.

Tip for future students

Get in the habit of having a consistent daily routine and get used to walking on elevation

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been my Border Analysis class. In this class, we examined the border relationship between the US, Latin America, and the Caribbean Islands. At the end of the semester we had a cumulative research project.

Career goals

I want to move to Europe after college to work in international relations or do my master's there.
