Why do you love UCI?
UCI captivates me with its vibrant campus life and commitment to innovation. The plethora of student clubs and activities offers a rich, diverse community where creativity flourishes. It’s a place where innovation isn’t just encouraged; it’s embedded in the campus culture, fueling groundbreaking research and interdisciplinary collaboration. This dynamic environment is exactly where I see myself thriving, exploring my passions, and contributing to meaningful change.
How can you be a successful Anteater?
Becoming a successful Anteater hinges on two simple, yet powerful, principles: daring to try everything and carrying a sense of pride in all that you do. Success here isn’t just measured by grades or accolades, but by the growth you experience and the contributions you make to the campus community. Carry yourself with pride, celebrate every milestone, and remember that every experience shapes you into a well-rounded individual. At UCI, being a successful Anteater means being authentically you, ready to explore, learn, and proudly make your mark.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
A fun fact about me is that I love cooking and gaming.
