I chose Brandeis because...

I'm eager to explore several of my interests, as I've always been someone who enjoys delving into a diverse array of hobbies and passions, spanning from Art to Science. At Brandeis, the focus on interdisciplinary education allows me to pursue majors or minors in four distinct fields, each offering a unique perspective and learning experience.

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 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.

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.
