My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

sledding at the Library Hill! It was scary because I never tried that before (my country doesn't have snow) but I had a really good time with my friends

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

Boston Commons. In the Spring and Fall, my best friends and I set up for picnics there. We bring our speaker, play some tunes, and snack on fruits and charcuterie boards!

My most memorable Brandeis experience?

watching the stars when I first came to the US. Coming from Hanoi, where city lights drown out the stars, seeing a clear night sky is very rare. As international students, we got to campus a bit before the official move in date of all first year students. Because of the jet lag from the 12-hour difference, me and my friends sat outside Massel Quad until 4AM, just looking up to the sky. One of us turned out to know a lot about stars, so we got a crash course in astronomy that night. We still meet up regularly after to stargaze throughout the school year and even went to Astronomy club together.

My favorite activity outside of class is...

going to the Archery Club's Open Practice! I have a background in archery from my home country, so when I arrived at Brandeis, I was eager to continue pursuing this hobby. While I may not be a part of the official team, I regularly attend their open practices every week. It's a wonderful opportunity for me to both receive training and enjoy some quality time with friends while indulging in my passion for archery.
