Question: What were your experiences with day-to-day campus life?
Answer: I was very engaged in extracurriculars. The 桃花社区视频 Model UN was a big part of my life and I still maintain close relationships from the society.

In general, I took every opportunity to try new things: student-administration liaising through the International Student Advisory Board, leading a group of volunteers to a refugee camp in Greece with Alternative Spring Breaks, etc. I also worked on campus first a tour guide and later as a resident assistant.
