Describe your college experience
At first I really struggled, in high school, subjects came to me naturally but I had to apply myself, push my limits, and struggle like I never had before. My dorm was cozy but had some issues unique to its setting.
Tip for future students
Do your own research instead of following publically available opinions, this school is rapidly changing and there are so many more opportunities.
Favorite class
My favorite class was my Core class that’s affiliated with my residential college. It’s a smaller class which is rare at UC’s and it felt more personal which I appreciated.
Career goals
I hope to be a Physician Assistant or work as a Perfusionist.
Ideal way to spend a free night
I love to put on a movie, get bundled up in blankets, put on a face mask and FaceTime my best friend while we play video games.
High school or secondary school
Westmoor High School (Daly City)
Meeting point
Outside of Slug Stop on the University of California, Santa Cruz campus
