Personal Tour Guide
I’m Abby, a junior studying biochemistry at Unuversity of Chicago. Being a transfer student from another university, adjusting and experiencing UChicago has been an enlightening and fulfilling experience. If you have any questions about the transfer experience, school culture differences, undergraduate to graduate school, and the life/health sciences, I’d love to connect!

Describe your college experience
College came with more freedom and resources to explore what I wanted to do as opposed to high school. I also was exposed to a different demographic of people than previously which can open new routes of thought and potential for myself. It’s a good time to branch out and explore socially and professionally what I want for my future.
