Describe your college experience
My transition to college was difficult at first because I had to adjust to a new environment, greater independence, and a much heavier workload. Over time, I became more comfortable, built a strong group of friends, joined a fraternity and several student organizations, and began to feel at home at UCLA. My experience has been a balance of studying hard, conducting research, volunteering, and staying involved on campus, while also making time to explore Los Angeles, go out, and enjoy college life with my friends.
