What has been your favorite academic experience at Puget Sound and why?
My favorite academic experience at Puget Sound is the semester I took a seminar class about evolution and was able to go on a class field trip to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium!
What is your favorite Puget Sound tradition and why?
Around midterms and finals week the school brings in a bunch of therapy dogs, which is always a fun break from the stress.
Where is your favorite on-campus study spot?
Any of the resource rooms in Thompson are my favorite place to study on campus! I love using the chalkboards in the resource rooms to work out problems or review for exams. I especially love studying in the math lounge because there is a Rummikub set that my friends and I will always play with when we need a study break!
What is your favorite SUB meal/hack?
When they are serving chicken coconut curry soup I always get a scoop of rice from the Wok station and mix them together--it makes a great combo.
