Describe your college experience

I didn’t go far from home so my college transition wasn’t that bad. I enjoy Columbia a lot. You get your fair share of work and fun. I can go out anytime I want to explore the city, but I also know to study hard for my exams.

Tip for future students

My advice is to really solidify your study habits and what works with you because having the option to be around other people 24​/​7 will get you distracted, even though you’ll be having fun. From my first finals experience, I was not prepared whatsoever. You cannot breeze by any more.

Favorite class

Literally any class with Professor Blaer. I just love how he teaches and how he makes the material easy to absorb.

Career goals

I hope to be a software developer or anything tech-related at least.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I enjoy a good night out with some friends with good food and music, but I also don’t mind just sitting in bed with my roommate watching movies.
