Describe your college experience
I have loved my college experience! I definitely experienced the freshman homesickness but once you get through a few months and meet new friends the entire experience turns around.
Tip for future students
Get involved! Put yourself out there and pack your schedule with as much as you can. I promise you won't regret staying busy.
Favorite class
History of the Ottoman Empire -- Although the Ottoman Empire was a hugely influential force in the world, it doesn't get enough air time in academic spaces. I loved learning more about how the Middle East and wider world was shaped by the Ottoman Empire.
Career goals
I am planning on attending law school after college!
Ideal way to spend a free night
Meeting friends for dinner and heading home early to read and go to sleep early.
High school or secondary school
