Fun fact about you?
I visited Austria just to watch Formula 1 in 2024 while I solo traveled Europe (yes, I was disappointed by the results)
Favorite thing about living in Phi Rho?
I have met amazing friends, both MS1 and MS2s, that have helped me navigate medical school and have fun through communal activities. It's absolutely incredible to live with MS2s who helped make the adjustment easier and will always answer questions from Anki Remotes to extracurricular activities. Also- It's 0.56 miles from HSEC (that's less than a ten minute walk).
