Describe your college experience

Choosing Tufts was one of the best decisions. My freshman year I was randomly paired with a girl who later turned out to be one of my best friends. The professors here are incredible too, they make class interesting and it is the perfect balance of academic and fun.

Tip for future students

Do a pre-orientation group! I did Global Orientation (GO) and met a lot of people who I am still friends with now.

Favorite class

Brain and Behavior! I love the intersection of psychology and physiology and seeing how so many body systems are connected.

Career goals

I am planning on taking a gap year doing clinical research before applying to medical school!

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal night is with my friends, either watching a movie, swimming in Mystic Lake, or exploring Boston!
