Describe your college experience

I certainly think that transitioning to college from a small hometown was a bit tough; however, once the semester got rolling and I made some amazing friends, I got the groove!

Tip for future students

College is a lot of change. Embrace it.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far is my Asian American Literature class. I registered for the class for the sake of it being a double-count credit, but nonetheless, it is by far my favorite class!

Career goals

After college, I plan on going to medical school, in pursuit of continuing my passion for pediatrics and sports medicine.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I love to get cozy in a bean bag chair with a warm cup of hot cocoa (or a cold coffee, depending on the weather) with a good book!

High school or secondary school

McMinn County High School - Athens, Tennessee

Favorite spot on campus

Biopond! It's gorgeous and reminds me of home.

    Knowledgeable and catered tour to my son’s interest. Candid and clear descriptions of campus life and adjusting to college for my high school senior. Very kind and truly cared about portraying UPenn annd its student body, academic and social life accurately and in great detail. Represented herself and her school superbly, 5 stars!

    Vidhi was an excellent tour guide. She is not just a bright student, but an amazing human who was nothing but inspiration for my 14 year old daughter. She shared insights, was authentically herself and called a spade a spade. And that built trust in my daughter. Thank you Vidhi for giving us your time and energy that day. And also thank you for handling the logistical challenges with grace and flexibility. Couldn't have asked for a better tour to UPenn!

    Our private college tour with Vidhi was an excellent experience. She did a fantastic job showing us the key areas of campus while also sharing her personal experiences with the admissions process and life as a student. Her insight made the tour feel both informative and genuine. I thoroughly recommend Vidhi to anyone visiting Upenn. She was exceptional!

    Great tour! Learned that Penn is not what I’m looking for, which is exactly why to try out visiting. Very kind and very good information.

    We had such a wonderful experience with our private tour of UPenn today. Vidhi was incredibly sweet, professional, and knowledgeable. She explained so much about the school and shared her own personal experience as a student, which made the tour especially meaningful and helpful for us. She was very patient and thoughtful in answering every single question we had, and we truly appreciated how generously she shared her experiences and insights. Vidhi is such a kind and wonderful person, and we feel very lucky to have had her as our guide. We would absolutely love to come back and have another tour with Vidhi in the future. We highly recommend her!

    Vidhi was fun-loving, helpful, and ready to help us discover UPenn! She gave us an in-depth tour of UPenn, including buildings relevant to my intended major(s) and residential halls. We highly recommend her to anyone wanting a fair and comprehensive overview of Penn.
