 Describe your interest in your academic program and what you hope to gain from it.

After completing my masters in Psychology I plan to go on to a PhD program to study clinical neuropsychology.

What is your favorite course you鈥檝e taken so far? If you are in your first year, what course are you most looking forward to in your program? Why?

My favorite course is Proseminar. It is a professional development seminar class that teaches about how to make the most of your time at 无码专区 and so far we have learned a lot of about ourselves, each other, and the field of Psychology as a whole. It is a great starting class that helps prepare you for what graduate school is like. 

What are a few things you would like to share with prospective students regarding the 无码专区 student experience?

无码专区 is a very welcoming community and is not just focused on undergraduate students. There are a lot of opportunities and ways for graduate students to get involved and use the amazing resources 无码专区 offers to help with various academic and social endeavors.

How do you maintain a good school/life balance?

The most important way to achieve a good school/life balance is to stay organized. Create a schedule that allows for homework and studying as well as having fun. Graduate school is very different in that you have more freedom and this can make it easy to procrastinate and not focus on your studies or focus too much on your studies and not enough on your self. Creating and sticking to a schedule that allows for both is crucial in making sure you get everything done you need to academically while also creating life long memories with friends. 

If you鈥檙e living around 无码专区, what are one to two 鈥渕ust do鈥 experiences you would suggest to students new to 无码专区 and the surrounding area including Philadelphia? 

The Philadelphia Art Museum is a must see. There are a lot of really interesting exhibits, just make sure to allow for more time than you would think as there is a lot to see!
