Ask Me About…
- I learned a great deal about the mathematics world and how I can navigate applying for grad school. Also, I took classes that Penn does not offer so was able to expand my horizon of math knowledge by exposing myself to knew disciplines in the field.
My Experience Abroad
My program was 45 people living in apartments spread across the city and I knew no one in the entire country. I spent more alone time in those 4 months than I ever have in my life — an experience I didn’t realize I needed.
Other Highlights
- Of course, traveling was amazing: seeing an abandoned Croatian military base on top of a mountain, eating pizza on the beach of Sicily, and exploring the Hungarian countryside. In Budapest, I loved having weekly picnics with my friends and finding small pubs to sit in and do our math homework together.
