Describe your college experience
Coming to the University of Illinois has been a very diverse and rewarding experience. The university has a great mix of work hard and play hard. It is a huge campus that is the definition of the US College Experience. There is a large mix of challenging and easy classes that really help you to find your career path, as well as an insane amount of extracurriculars that will help you feel right at home in a huge university.
Tip for future students
Find your group, whether thats a sports team/club, RSO, or dorm friends don't be afraid to get plugged in. The University is huge and having a good group of friends goes a long way.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been LAW 301, an introduction to Law and the US Legal system. The class is set up like an introductory law class which means case discussion and often times debate on different Point of Views.
Career goals
After my time here I hope to go to law school and then pursue a career in corporate law as a Mergers and Acquisitions Attorney.
Ideal way to spend a free night
My favorite way to spend a free night is to hit the gym and then grill and hang out with a few of my buddies, maybe hit the golf range if I have time.
