My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

Kindness Day celebrations. On this day in November, the Brandeis campus and all its' students illuminate with passion and kindness. Plus, there's always free swag and fun cards you can write to your friends to remind them how much you love and appreciate them!

I chose Brandeis because...

My aunt and uncle met here! Since I was young, I had always heard about how great Brandeis was from them and other friends and family members. Brandeis not only provides an outstanding educational experience that I knew had my specific fields of interest, but it was the right size school for my liking. I especially enjoy how close the school is to the city of Boston while still located in the quieter suburbs.

My favorite place on campus, in Waltham or in Boston is...

Mike's Pastry. They have some of the best cannolis in the world and the shop is located right in the heart of Boston's North End, a great place to walk around!

My favorite activity outside of class is...

Banshee (Brandeis Womens' Ultimate Frisbee)! I've made some of my best friends and memories on Banshee and have greatly improved my frisbee skills. Tournaments and scrimmages are by far the best part - we get to travel together, stay in hotels, and bond as a team!

I'm passionate about...

Judaism Sports Anthropology Family and Friends Exploring the City Nature - Hiking Working at Summer Camps

I'm involved with...

Brandeis Hillel Brandeis Women's Ultimate Frisbee Chabad at Brandeis Brandeis Orthodox Organization (BOO)
