Describe your college experience
Being in a completely new environment and surrounded by strangers felt scary and vulnerable at first, but I became used to it by mid-fall semester. Academically, the class schedules felt way tighter and harsher, especially with midterms and finals. But by the spring semester, I wasn't too stressed about it and was able to balance studying with free time and all my other commitments!
Tip for future students
You don't have to know what you want to major in yet - I changed my major/minor plans three times only in my freshman year!
Favorite class
Computer Science I with Professor Yun - This class made me want to actually pursue CS!
Career goals
Unsure yet, but I'm interested in the intersection of AI/tech and law!
Ideal way to spend a free night
City walks around Boston or movie night-in!
High school or secondary school
St. Mary's School
Meeting point
In front of Saint Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Church on the Boston College campus
