My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

Islamic Law with Professor Mariam Sheibani! This was the first seminar class I have taken, it allowed me to break out of my comfort zone and engage in discussions more. The content and readings for the class were amazing! My favorite was reading a debate from the Medieval Near East about the permissibility of coffee. Professor Sheibani is the perfect person to teach this course, she has a lot of knowledge and expertise in Islamic law, sparked meaningful discussions, allowed everyone to share their opinions comfortably, and speaks very eloquently. This was a small course which made it feel very tight-knit and allowed us to build a closer relationship with each other and Professor Sheibani. I would recommend everyone to take a course with her during their time at Brandeis!

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!

My most memorable Brandeis experience?

Meeting my friends at orientation and Ramadan with Brandeis MSA!

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.
