• What ultimately brought you to choose to join us?

I chose to enroll in the BA in Liberal Arts program because it presented the opportunity to learn a variety of different topics and get a much diversified education.

• What are some of your most memorable moments here? 
Some of my most memorable moments are Shabbat dinners with friends and family friends. It doesn’t matter if you are religious or not, Shabbat dinners bring people together and allow them to disconnect for a couple of hours

• Any tips for future students? 
Two tips for future students: 
1. Get close to your professors. I admired so many professors but was very shy and tried to stay in the background. If you like a professor or think his/her lecture was interesting, approach them! Ask questions / start a conversation etc. 
2. In terms of choosing a job after graduation- make goals for yourself before you graduate. Try to narrow down what field and work environment you want. The more focused you are in setting your goals, the easier it will be when you graduate.
