Why did you choose Haverford?
My decision to come to Haverford was relatively easy. I wanted to go to a place where I could grow as a person and where ideas precede conventionality. So I was mostly interested in liberal arts schools.

How the Haverford experience is unique?
The close-knit relationship in Haverford with professors, staffs, administrators and students is truly the cornerstone of my experience here. Where else would you get a chance to work with a professor one to one in a project where only graduate students at a top school get a chance to work? This summer has precisely been that. I was thrilled to work with Professor Gosh helping him expand his theoretical macroeconomic model on current account and exchange rate.

Favorite place to hang out on campus?
Many: some of them are Coop Lounge, Lunt Café and Lounge, CPGC Café.

What advice would you give a high school student considering Haverford?
If you like close knit academic and athletic atmosphere, then nothing can beat Haverford.
