Describe your college experience
My transition into college felt natural and like I was meant to be here. Moving in was a little hassle but after settling in meeting new people was easy because they’re all in the same boat as you. Each semester you have more opportunities to meet new people.
Tip for future students
Don’t be afraid to talk to the people who sit next to you, I wish I introduced myself to the people that sat next to me in classes. Difficult classes can be hard to navigate by yourself. And be prepared for the constant changing weather!
Favorite class
Biology! I may sound bias as a biology major but both instructors were very passionate and knowledgeable about their field which made learning biology a lot easier and more enjoyable.
Career goals
I plan to go into higher education and go into research projects and work in a lab.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Exploring new places to eat in Columbia.
