My most memorable Brandeis experience?

My most memorable Brandeis experience has been when I met with Professor Farrelly who is also my American Studies advisor. I was feeling confused, and I had a lot of questions about my academics and life after college. Professor Farrelly took the time to talk to me and give me advice that has been relevant throughout different aspects of my life. She is still always willing to talk to me during her office hours despite me no longer being her student which I always value.

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

My favorite place on campus is the rooftop garden in Mandel! It is a great place to study and do work during the day. It also has outlets whenever my phone has low battery which happens too often.

My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

Spring Fest! I was originally resistant toward going because of how close it was to finals. It was definitely worth it! It was fun going to a free concert and being able to hang out with my friends and classmates right before the end of the year!

I chose Brandeis because...

Although I appreciated Brandeis' close proximity to Boston while still being a perfectly sized school, I choose Brandeis because of the community. It was something that was prevalent during my tour and especially these past years that I've been here.
