Favorite UC Santa Cruz moments:
"I like the professors. They make a good effort to get to know the students, and they take an interest in how the students are doing; the classes here are small enough that they can do that."

How UC Santa Cruz has changed her:
"I've become more open and accepting of people since I've come here. For example, my apartment at Cowell College has some psych majors," she says. "It's been a good experience to get to know people with different interests who can share their knowledge with me."
