My most memorable Brandeis experience?

My most memorable Brandeis experience has been orientation. The Brandeis orientation was done incredibly well. Many of my friends today I met either in my orientation group or through orientation activities. For the final day of orientation Brandeis rented out the entire Boston Science Museum until 12am. It was a great way to connect with new friends and we got to have an incredibly special opportunity to have an entire museum all to ourselves.

My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

I would have to say my favorite Brandeis class I have had has been my first year university writing seminar aka UWS. In each first year's UWS the students learn how to write at a college level. I loved my UWS professor and learned invaluable knowledge in her class. My peers in the class also made the experience incredible. I learned so much from my classmates and became friends with some of them. We would write our papers in the library together and get coffee after class. My UWS class prepared me for every academic writing piece I have done while aiding me in making new friends. I loved the experience so much and wish I could do it all over again.

My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

The club fair! Every semester all the clubs on campus set up tables on the great lawn. Students get to walk around and sign up for as many clubs as they want. I have now been to four club fairs and I feel like I always find a new exciting and fun activity!

My favorite activity outside of class is...

Hanging out with my friends in Waltham! I have made such amazing friends here at Brandeis and one of our favorite things to do is walk around Moody Street in Waltham. We especially love the thrift store and pottery store.
