My most memorable Brandeis experience?

Meeting my friends at orientation and Ramadan with Brandeis MSA!

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

My favorite place in Waltham is Peshawri Kebabs, they serve delicious Pakistani food with such lovely hospitality. The food and environment create a home-like feeling for anyone who visits!

I chose Brandeis because...

There's a healthy balance between academics and social life. There are so many interesting courses students can take in any department either for major/minor requirements or just for fun! When I toured Brandeis, I knew I would find a supportive and welcoming community at Brandeis by joining student organizations I identify with or interest me as there was something for everyone.

My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

Light the Night! This is a Brandeis tradition that occurs during orientation at the "Light of Reason" installation outside of the Rose Art Museum. Students are given lights on which they write what they hope to accomplish or a dream during their time at Brandeis. Afterward, students raise their lights and switch them on at the same time as the Light of Reason turns on. This is a very meaningful tradition because I have my light on my desk every year and it's something I can look at and feel encouraged to make the most out of my time at Brandeis.
