Describe your college experience

I have really enjoyed my college experience so far! I lived in the dorms, joined a few organizations, and met so many amazing people. Alongg with this, the vibe and energy at Michigan are amazing,n g and I have been pushed to work very hard. I feel that Michigan has the best balance of academic rigor and social experience!

Tip for future students

Make sure your focus always stays on school first. It can be easy to get caught up in social life or organizations, and while those are important, focus on your grades first, as they matter a lot. Additionally, I would say that it is very important to get involved on campus. The people at UMich are what make it such an amazing place, so join different clubs and organizations even if it is out of your comfort zone. I met my best friends at school through the clubs and organizations I joined. Lastly, take advantage of the UMich resources! There are so many smart people, from upperclassmen to professors to academic advisors, so learn from their experience to make the most of yours!

Favorite class

My favorite class was Minds & Brains in America. It was a very interesting class about how the methods of mental health treatment have evolved over time. It was very fun because many of my friends were in class with me, and the class was taught in a very engaging and easy-going format with videos and movie clips in class, and minimal assignments as well!

Career goals

I hope to pursue a career in consulting, product mangement, or venture capital.

Ideal way to spend a free night

On a free night, I would likely meet up with friends and find something to do. It may be watching a movie, getting food, or walking around campus, but it would always involve having a deep conversation.

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spot on campus is either The Hill or The Big House. I enjoy the Hill because the architecture in that area is very Harry Potter like, and it is very scenic. I also love the Big House because that area always reminds me of football games, excitement, and lots of good energy.
