Describe your college experience
I have had an incredibly fun and helpful experience so far. I have grown a lot as a communicator, individual, and student by being in new situations. I have found older students who have been mentors, but also learned from trial and error.
Tip for future students
Firstly, remember that everyone is in the same boat, so never feel embarrassed about trying a new thing. I recommend going to club meetings that sound interesting just to see if it's a fit. I also think talking to older students is great in order to avoid mistakes or gain insight.
Favorite class
I loved "Ethics in International Relations" because it was really challenging yet rewarding, and I learned a lot of things that are useful in the world.
Career goals
Consulting/Undecided
Ideal way to spend a free night
Getting dinner with friends, either at a dining hall or downtown Evanston. Watching a movie, reading a book, or hanging out with friends is always fun.
