“When I found that group of friends that I knew were tailored to my interests, my humor, we had the same habits and everything – we really started to explore campus, and even the Hyde Park area together as a group. Whether that’s exploring new parks in the area, going to musical events, new places downtown, or even finding a little study spot to camp out at… it’s been great to explore and develop connections with new types of people along the way.

I never find myself saying ‘I have nothing to do.’ There’s always an event, whether it’s a house event, maybe a Biosciences networking event, coffee chats or places to go around campus – there’s always something to do.”
