Hi! My name is Mariem, and I am a rising junior at Stanford studying biomedical computation on the pre-med track. I am originally from New York City, and I love talking about my hometown and the similarities and differences between the East and West coasts. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading sci-fi books, and exploring coffee shops in the Bay Area.

Describe your college experience

The first few weeks of freshman year were difficult and it took me a while to adjust to a completely new environment, but the people and groups I met were essential in helping me feel at home.

Tip for future students

It's important to be social and meet new people, especially during your first quarter here, but remember to take time for yourself as well!
