Describe your college experience

Stanford has been an eye-opening experience for me. It has enabled me pursue my passions both in and out of the classroom.

Tip for future students

Explore. Explore. Explore. My biggest regret is not getting enough breadth in my Frosh year course selections. If you're planning to come to Stanford to study CS, don't feel pressured to speedrun the CS Core like I did.
