Describe your college experience

I am personally not much of a partier, so my experience veers off from the typical college experience. However, I have found peace and love with the city surrounding Tufts and have always felt like I am not only getting an amazing education but I am also loving both the classes and professors.

Tip for future students

Do not force yourself to be friends with people as soon as you get here. Do the things you enjoy around school and you will find the right people for you.

Favorite class

Honorable Mention: Any German class I have taken has had the most caring teachers and most comforting environment out of any classes at Tufts. Favorite Class: Astrophysics 31 - Stellar Structure and Evolution. The professor in this class really made the most of our time and sincerely cared that we understood what was going on. It was only a bonus that the class was on the subject I am interested in most.

Career goals

I hope to go get a PhD in astrophysics.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Hanging out with friends. It doesn't matter what we do I just want to be surrounded by the right company. If staying in Jackbox games come to mind and if going out I enjoy a good Boston Bruins game.
