I chose Brandeis because...

Of the community. I am constantly surrounded by people who are supportive, like-minded and want to make a difference in the world. I feel proud to attend a social justice university with students so passionate about making a difference and willing to help and support each other.

My favorite activity outside of class is...

Playing ultimate frisbee. I have been on the Women's Ultimate Frisbee Team, Banshee for the last four years. We are an incredible community of strong powerful women with a competitive, enthusiastic drive. This year we were ranked 15th in the nation and I am so incredibly proud to be on Banshee.

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

The Greenway which begins in Waltham and goes all the way to Boston. It is a great place to run, bike, walk or sit on a bench with a book next. The Greenway is next to the Charles River and is beautiful and scenic.

My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

Women in American Politics with Professor Greenlee. We began with studying the women's suffrage movement and ended the course with the 2016 election, discussing Hillary Clinton's bid for presidency. Professor Greenlee is engaging, enthusiastic and passionate.
