What's your favorite course (so far)?
Among the courses I’ve taken, Higher Education Law stands out as my favorite. It offered real-world insight into key regulatory and legal issues in U.S. higher education. As someone new to the field, I found it especially helpful in understanding the professional and ethical landscape.

What's your favorite spot in Williamsburg?
I really enjoy spending time at Barnes & Noble in the New Town area. It’s a relaxing spot that combines both social and inspiring energy, making it perfect for reading or unwinding in a calm environment.
