⁣
Q: Why did you choose Vanderbilt?⁣
A: There’s a great sense of community, there’s so many nice people that I’ve gotten to meet. Everyone here is incredibly welcoming. I also really enjoy the weather and the amount of greenery on campus, it’s amazing to see.⁣
⁣
Q: Why do you want to be Pre-Med?⁣
A: I’ve always wanted to be a doctor since I was young, because I was born pre-mature by about two months. I was really inspired by the doctors that helped me out, so I want to do the same thing for others.⁣
⁣
Q: What do you love most about Vanderbilt?⁣
A: I love how I can just start up a conversation with pretty much anyone here. Everyone is super nice, super different, with lots of unique and variable interests. I don’t get that cutthroat vibe here that you might see at other schools. And everyone is so brilliant, so that’s cool.⁣
⁣
Q: What are you most excited for this semester?⁣
A: I’m really excited to get involved with more organizations on campus and trying new things. I want to be a Next Steps Ambassadore and join Camp Kesem as well.⁣
⁣
Q: If you could say something to our Instagram followers, what would it be?⁣
A: To everyone who has already been on campus: you’ve made it very welcoming and I’m really grateful for that.⁣
⁣
Q: How have you grown since high school?⁣
A: I sort of feel more like myself. I don’t have to live up to this expectation that people had of me in a school of people that I’d known for 12 years. A lot of people had this impression of me, and I feel like now that I’m here, I can be more of myself.⁣
