My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

The 24 hour musical! It's such a goofy tradition and a great way to break the ice with your new classmates. I think it really exemplifies how Brandeis students aren't afraid to try something new and take on crazy challenges. and the 24 hour musical is always so fun to watch!

I chose Brandeis because...

Brandeis has some of the most academically driven and kind people I have ever met! At Brandeis I'm able to have two majors, three minors, be part of ten clubs, and I feel as though my whole community is cheering me on.

My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

My favorite professor at Brandeis is Professor Willrich! I took both of his American Legal History classes and they inspired me to become a History major and Legal Studies minor. Professor Willrich is incredibly engaging and was so supportive of me as a freshman in an upper-level class. He also really pushed all of us to improve our research and writing skills over the course of the class!

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

My favorite place in the Boston area is Porter Square. You can get there via the commuter rail, and it's a really local area of Cambridge with great shops and places to eat. I grew up going to Porter Square Books on weekends, and it's still one of my favorite places to visit. The owner of the store is so nice, and they make great chocolate muffins.

I'm passionate about...
