Hi, my name’s Ari! I’m currently a University of Michigan student who would love to show you around campus and tell you all about the ins and outs of the application process, academics, social life, and all sorts of activities that we have on campus. Go Blue!

Describe your college experience

Coming from California, it definitely took some time to get used to the weather and the city of Ann Arbor— but it’s worth it! I’ve made some amazing friends and have learned so much from other students and the great classes we have here. Plus, you can’t forget about the football games and social scene!

Tip for future students

Pick your dorm wisely, and make sure you know what classes you’re signing up for and what the teachers are like before you take the class.

Favorite class

My favorite class has either been English 223 (Intro to Creative Writing) or Psych 280 (Intro to Social Psychology). The teachers are fantastic and I’ve learned a lot of things from both classes that I can easily apply to real life.

Career goals

I’m planning on either attending law school or pursuing further education in forensic psychology.

Ideal way to spend a free night

It depends, but I usually like to go out on the town with my friends! We like to go to parties and get dinner at local restaurants—but before finals week, you’ll definitely see me at the libraries.
