Hello, I am a third year student at UC Berkeley. I absolutely love the history of the university and am always learning something new about the campus. It's filled with cool stories and histories beyond the classrooms and tower. I'd be honored to help you discover more about the campus, too!

Describe your college experience

It was a rough start adjusting to college life, but it's been getting a lot better. My professors have mostly been pretty good and the classes pretty fair. All in all I am happy here and am especially excited for the next couple years.

Tip for future students

For a lot of people, making friends in college isn't easy. Don't be too hard on yourself if your circle changes or is hard to establish in the first place. You'll find your place. Also, college is hard, especially Berkeley. Don't sugercoat it. You are here to be challenged, so always prioritize academics and the rest will fall into place.

Favorite class

Probably Bio1B, the introductory course for my emphasis. It was relatively easy, lectures were not mandatory, and the labs were super fun. Of course I am biased, but I found the content super interesting which is how I came to know what I wanted to study.

Career goals

I've been thinking about going to grad school (hopefully Notre Dame!) and become a professor

Ideal way to spend a free night

Taking a walk around campus, grabbing some Blondies pizza or Kimchi Garden, and watching a movie
