Describe your college experience

I certainly think that transitioning to college from a small hometown was a bit tough; however, once the semester got rolling and I made some amazing friends, I got the groove!

Tip for future students

College is a lot of change. Embrace it.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far is my Asian American Literature class. I registered for the class for the sake of it being a double-count credit, but nonetheless, it is by far my favorite class!

Career goals

After college, I plan on going to medical school, in pursuit of continuing my passion for pediatrics and sports medicine.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I love to get cozy in a bean bag chair with a warm cup of hot cocoa (or a cold coffee, depending on the weather) with a good book!

High school or secondary school

McMinn County High School - Athens, Tennessee

Favorite spot on campus

Biopond! It's gorgeous and reminds me of home.

Meeting point

Split Button Sculpture on the University of Pennsylvania campus

    Vidhi was fun-loving, helpful, and ready to help us discover UPenn! She gave us an in-depth tour of UPenn, including buildings relevant to my intended major(s) and residential halls. We highly recommend her to anyone wanting a fair and comprehensive overview of Penn.
