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

My favorite place on campus would be the science center, it is where I have found I am most productive and it is so inspiring as a stem student to be in that enviornment. In Waltham my favorite place has to be common good or pho 1 which are both on Moody street where most of the restaurants are close to campus. I love to go to common good on the weekend to do homework or grab a coffee with a friend. In Boston I absolutely love Newbury street as well as the Boston Public Garden especially in Spring when everything is in bloom.

My favorite activity outside of class is...

My favorite activity outside of class would be hanging out with friends. Whether that is doing homework together, talking walks around campus, or going into Waltham or Boston.

I chose Brandeis because...

I chose Brandeis because of the academic opportunities that it offers to students. Also when I first walked onto this campus I felt an instant feeling of community and that was something that mattered a lot to me. Also I really wanted to be in a campus setting but really close to a big city, and Brandeis fit those boxes.

My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

Light the Night! All first year students write an aspiration on a candle of what they want to get out of their 4 years at Brandeis and everyone lights their candle while the lights outside the Rose Art Museum light up.
