Why did you choose Dickinson College: For many reasons: it has a well-developed department for my major, strong study abroad programs, and a small but diverse environment allowing for close connections. Moreover, during my college tour, Dickinson was the only college that arranged a special Chinese tour guide to accompany my grandfather, who does not speak English at all. This simple action meant a lot to me. It showed me how detailed oriented Dickinson is, in caring for its students. And I continue to feel that way, now that I am on campus.

Interesting fact about yourself: Returning from a year abroad in Oxford, UK to study (abroad) at Dickinson

What I want my residents to know about me: An Open Door and An Open Mind
