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

My favorite place in Waltham is In a Pickle! It has, in my opinion, the best breakfast food in the Boston area. My friends and I love going there every so often to get off campus and get some good food.

My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

Midnight buffet! Before finals, student organizations sponsor a buffet full of delicious foods to help us all destress. Nothing tastes quite as good as pizza at midnight with all your friends right before finals start!

I chose Brandeis because...

When I came onto campus for my very first tour everyone I interacted with was just so kind and welcoming. It seemed like a place where I would be happy to consider my home for the next four years. Additionally, I was drawn to the social-justice culture on campus and the unique founding of the school.

My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

My favorite Brandeis class is "Elections in America" taught by Professor Albert. I was lucky enough to take it during an election cycle, and Professor Albert did such a nice job connecting what we were learning in class to what was happening with current events which kept the class very relevant and interesting. The class assignments were also really unique and allowed me to demonstrate what I had learned in very creative ways, like by writing up a campaign strategy for a hypothetical candidate.
