"The professors that I have had at Wellesley are all remarkably interesting while subsequently being extremely approachable. As the average class size is relatively small, they are able to devote a large amount of time to finding the strengths and weaknesses of each individual student."

FAVORITE COURSE: Computer Science and the Internet (CS 110): I initially took this class to fulfill a distribution requirement (mathematical modeling) and was rather anxious about it, as I had no prior computer science experience. At the end of the semester, however, I had acquired enough knowledge to design and code a website from scratch, a task that had seemed completely out of reach months earlier. I not only gained confidence in a subject field that has never been my forte, but also I learned a skill that greatly supplements my resume.

YOUR PERSPECTIVES ON ACADEMICS: I love the fact that Wellesley not only allows but also encourages students to pursue all of their academic interests. Many of the schools I looked at during the college application process actually discouraged my intention to complete a double major. I feel that, as the two subjects frequently intersect, studying Political Science alongside East Asian Studies has led to a more holistic education of both subjects.

My Wellesley professors are all remarkably interesting while subsequently being extremely approachable. As the average class size is relatively small, they are able to devote a large amount of time to finding the strengths and weaknesses of each individual student. I appreciate the lengthy feedback that always comes with my papers. As a result, I not only know where my grade is coming from, but I also have useful comments that can be employed to improve my writing.

STUDY ABROAD: I will be spending the spring semester of my junior year in Shanghai, China.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT WELLESLEY: I love the dynamics within Wellesley’s student population. The woman who debates avidly against you during class could very well be the same person who lets you borrow her notes when you are sick. I feel that students here are quite willing to voice their ideas, but at the same time, they never let a difference in opinions hinder them from extending a helping hand.

DREAM JOB:I would love to do something in the realm of international law with a focus on China. It would be a great way to fuse my two interests together. At the moment, I am planning to go straight to law school after graduation; however, nothing is set in stone.
