Describe your college experience

My transition has been amazing and seamless. I was able to make new friends easily both within my floor and dorm, and with those in my classes and in my clubs. I also met other students and professors, as well as those within the community playing pickleball!

Tip for future students

It's important to be a well rounded applicant. A college is seeing your application as how can this person uniquely contribute to life here? How will they add to the community? That's the most important question and what to think about when applying.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been my math class. I am learning things that are so different than the math I am used to in high school.

Career goals

After college, I hope to work somewhere in the economics field, but I am still exploring where exactly that may be!

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way of spending a free night is hanging out with friends and playing pickleball or poker! I also like to just explore New York City and find new places to eat at, or cute cafes!
