Describe your college experience
I adjusted to college life pretty quickly! I currently live with one roommate. I became close friends with her and our neighbors in our dorm. I found the format of classes to be different from high school, but not necessarily harder. I created a good study/sleep routine for myself as well.
Tip for future students
UPenn is very preprofessional! Make sure you have a good study/sleep schedule and try to stick to it. Surround yourself with genuine, kind people.
Favorite class
Math 1400 (Calc 2). I feel like I learned a lot and my professor was very nice. Even though I didn't love the structure of the course, I feel like I improved a lot in my study habits and truly learned so much.
Career goals
I'm not sure yet!
Ideal way to spend a free night
I'd find a couple friends to dress up and eat dinner at a restaurant with, then get frozen yogurt and watch a Marvel movie at night.
High school or secondary school
Huron High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
