Describe your college experience
It was a bit hard to adjust at first but I’ve made some great friends here and I’ve really enjoyed the classes I’ve taken so far.
Tip for future students
Stay ahead of the work and studying so you don’t get overwhelmed during midterms and finals. There are an abundance of resources on campus to help with academics and overall wellness.
Favorite class
I took Art Humanities this past semester and it was really fun and interesting. We visited The Met twice and the Brooklyn Museum and had great discussions in class about different artists and pieces of art.
Career goals
I want to become a lawyer.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Go to the movie theatre and see an A24 horror movie with some friends.
