My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

The 24 Hour Musical!

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

The Student Campus Center! It has everything, quiet study spaces, social gatherings for clubs, and Einsteins bagels shop-so you can get food whenever you need!

I chose Brandeis because...

It checked off all my boxes. It's a university with a campus, town, and a city (all accessible for free with our university BranVans!) It has an intellectual and curious student body, but everyone is also very extracurricularly involved and knows how to have fun. I was able to study academics, but also get to do theater every semester, and have the opportunity to travel with the University as well. However, the best part about Brandeis to me is how friendly are student body is. To this day, I haven't encountered a more genuine and kind group of people, and I'm grateful every day to Brandeis for giving me that community.

My favorite activity outside of class is...

Being with my improv troupe, Crowd Control. Not only is it nice to have a group of people on campus who have your back, but we have so much fun together doing improv, and just being silly. It's really a special group.

I'm passionate about...
