Although I am a local student, I never seriously considered UPenn until senior year (I was team Princeton until then!) but was blown away by the way the social, academic, and professional worlds merge here. I was easily able to get involved in fun yet educational activities that broader my academic horizons (and number of minors!)

Describe your college experience

I was relativley unsatistied with high school so my transition to college was full of excitement and anticipation. I got very involved in my first few weeks and was able to find both friends and mentors to help me when the newness finally wore off and I became stressed.

Tip for future students

Use your Google Calender!

Favorite class

First Year Seminar: Dark Academia was fantastic because it heavily relied on social media and popular fiction to create theories on how young people view the college space. It definitely framed the rest of my time in university.

Career goals

I would like to work in finance

Ideal way to spend a free night

Go out for bubble tea with friends then catch up on my very long TRB list of books.
