I chose Brandeis because...

As someone who had no idea what they wanted to study in college, the academic flexibility at Brandeis was super important to me. I have been able to take on multiple majors and minors while taking classes outside of my majors just because I am interested in them. I was also drawn to the proximity and accessibility of Boston, while still having a traditional campus.

My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

Springfest! Our annual on-campus concert with famous artists, food trucks, and more is a great way to celebrate the end of the semester with friends and the rest of the Brandeis community.

My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

Animal Science and Nutrition with Professor Kosinski-Collins! I was able to complement my biology knowledge with my love for animals in this class. Some of my favorite components of the class were learning how to perform CPR on dogs and cats, as well as discussing various animal industries.

My favorite activity outside of class is...

Being part of the Japanese Students Association has allowed me to connect with fellow Japanese students while learning about other cultures through collaborations with other clubs within the Intercultural Center.

I'm passionate about...

Animals Music Running Traveling

I'm involved with...
