Describe your college experience
When transitioning from high school to college, I was definetly taken back by the work load, but after finishing my first semester, I was able to get the hang of what the academic rigor was like at Tufts and quickly adjusted. I have been able to meet a variety of people with similar and differing interest which as made me more of a well-rounded individual.
Tip for future students
If you are an incoming freshmen, I would definitely suggest signing up for the pre-orientation program Tufts hosts before the start of school. They are great way to get to know the campus and the other incoming freshmen. (I did FIT).
Favorite class
My favorite class so far is Applications in Engineering: Reproductive Engineering. I enjoyed this class because of the amazing professor Juan Gnecco and the topics covered in the class. It was a great learning experience.
Career goals
I am a pre-med student so my goals for after undergrad would be going to medical school and from there hopefully being able to become a general physician.
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal way to spend a free night would be going into Boston with my friends to try new restaurants and cuisines.
