What convinced you to come to BU?
 
I love cities, especially Boston, so BU seemed like a great place for me to go to school.

What makes you feel most excited about coming to college?

I’ve lived in the suburbs my whole life, so I’m really excited to live in a city and to meet new people.

What makes you feel most nervous about coming to college?

I don’t have the best sense of direction, so I’m afraid that I’ll get lost in the city.

What kinds of activities do you want to become involved in?

I really enjoy helping people, so I will probably join any club that has to do with volunteering or community service.

What is one of the goals of your first year at BU?

I really want to meet new people and to qualify to study abroad during my sophomore year.

What accomplishment are you most proud of?

I think being accepted to BU is my greatest accomplishment.

What will be your first stop when you start exploring Boston?

I’m not into tourist attractions, so I will probably just wander around and try to become more familiar with the city.

How are you spending your summer vacation?

I am a camp counselor at the YMCA.
