Bianca Cadet
Sargent’29 Behavior & Health
Bonjou! My name is Bianca Cadet (she/her), and I am a QuestBridge student in the Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Class of 2029, studying Behavior & Health as a pre-physical therapy student.
As a Haitian-Bahamian who has moved around frequently, there isn’t a single place I can truly pinpoint as my hometown. I currently live in Atlanta, Georgia, but I emigrated to the United States from The Bahamas in 2021 and completed high school in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida.
On campus, you might see me giving tours as an Admissions Ambassador, tinkering in the Innovate@BU space, or planning prospective student events with the Admissions Student Diversity Board.
When I’m not studying in my favorite libraries, walking along the Esplanade, or hosting one of my weekly game nights with friends, you might catch me in the Kilachand kitchen making Haitian or Bahamian food (and yes, I will share!).
I’ve spent my first year at BU discovering the tips and tricks I need to thrive in the years ahead, and I believe it all started when I was a prospective student. I reached out to current students to learn what they loved most, compiled a list of resources BU offered, and attended every webinar that interested me.
Through that research, I found my secret to making this large campus feel small and perfectly crafted just for me: the Kilachand Honors College. If you’re feeling nervous about being a first-generation immigrant or college student, navigating a large campus, getting involved, or even if you just want a recipe for Haitian mac and cheese, I’m always open to chatting.
