Hi! I’m Jacob and I’m currently a sophomore at NYU studying Psychology in the Liberal Studies Core with a direct transfer to CAS. I love to play basketball and try new food spots around the city. I’m originally from the Bay Area in California and have spent a lot of time seeing around NYU as I have an older brother who went here as well and I also have family based in New York. Happy to answer any questions regarding anything about student life!

Describe your college experience

My experience to college has been made quite easy by being open to making new friends and having a very fun and stimulating environment to live in. It was a bit overwhelming at first but honestly quite easily to adjust to as I found it much more fun than my quite suburban hometown.
