My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

My favorite Brandeis professor is my Italian professor, Paola Servino. Not only is she incredibly passionate about what she teaches, but she is also very caring; she's there to support me both inside and outside the classroom. At the end of one semester, she invited back my entire class (about 10 people) to her house to cook everyone a homemade Italian dinner; however, me and one other student couldn't go the night when everyone else could, so she invited just the two of us back a different night so we could have the same experience. She also came to visit me while I was studying abroad in Sorrento, Italy (and she even took me out to dinner).

My most memorable Brandeis experience?

My most memorable Brandeis experience is going to Springfest my sophomore year. It was such a beautiful day outside, and I saw some amazing musical performances surrounded by all my friends. There was also a food truck that gave away free cupcakes, which I was a huge fan of!

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

My favorite place in Boston is Insomnia Cookies! The Brandeis-Boston shuttle is an incredible resource for when it's 11 p.m. and I'm craving a chocolate chip cookie from Insomnia, which is only a five minute walk from the Cambridge stop.

My favorite activity outside of class is...

My favorite activity when I'm outside of class is attending writers meetings for the sketch comedy club I write for, called Boris Kitchen. It's amazing to read and pitch sketches with a group of such funny, kind people. Being a part of Boris Kitchen is definitely one of the best decisions I made while being at Brandeis.
