Hello! I'm Shishir, a junior on the pre-med track and an overanxious genetics major. I moved from Tennessee not knowing many people but I managed to make a close knit friend group. Now, in my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and pickleball with my friends and hanging out on College Ave.

Describe your college experience

I have had a very good experience so far, made a lot of friends, and enjoyed taking many classes. It has been difficult to manage the rigor of college classes at times but I’ve slowly gotten used to it.

Tip for future students

Go to all your classes, understand what you are comfortable with and make your schedule accordingly. Try to go to as many events and meet as many different people as possible.

Favorite class

Biology, because it’s interesting to understand all the mechanisms behind how our bodies work.

Career goals

Go to Medical School and​/​or participate in important research.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Watch a good marvel movie with my friends.

High school or secondary school

Ravenwood High School

Favorite spot on campus

Henry’s diner because it has a great brunch vibe and was always fun to eat with my friends on Fridays.
