Hi, I'm Amberlise! I am a senior at the George Washington University studying neuroscience. In my free time, I love to explore DC with my friends or just on a solo walk throughout the city.

Describe your college experience

My transition to university occurred quite smoothly compared to what I expected. Living on campus and having roommates experience everything for the first time just like I was helped make it feel more natural and with all the events set up during orientation, it allowed us to form a relationship very quickly.

Tip for future students

I wish I knew more ways to get into different orgs and how to participate in them. When I eventually found the org that I felt welcome and comfortable in, my only regret was not joining sooner if I had known about it. I recommend researching all that the university has to offer before arriving.

Favorite class

My favorite class I have taken is developmental neurobiology. The entire course was focused on neuroscience and every assignment taught me something new and had an interactive component to it that helped me learn even more.

Career goals

My initial goal once I finish my undergraduate studies is to begin studying as a graduate student.

Ideal way to spend a free night

The best way I spend a free night is going out in the city with some friends!

High school or secondary school

Antietam Middle Senior High School

Favorite spot on campus

In the warmer months Kogan Plaza is full of student life and events. There are so many places to sit and study or even just relax.
