Why I chose NYU Shanghai
I chose NYU Shanghai because I wanted the opportunity to study abroad while also improving my Chinese and learning more about my heritage. I also chose NYU Shanghai because I learned about the IMB program after being admitted and knew I wanted to major in IMB
Favorite spot/thing to do in Shanghai
Going to the Bund at night and The Roosevelt
Favorite quote or Advice to Applicants
Never give up! It's so easy to want to give up with homesickness, hard classes, and difficulty making friends/finding where you belong (no judgment because I was in that position). But, I'm so thankful I decided to stay with NYU Shanghai because I found my career passion and my closest friends.
Fun fact about me
I have an irrational fear of clowns
