"I chose Ä¢¹½TV for so many reasons! The most precious thing to me is the tight knit community. There's something grounding about walking around campus and knowing people, feeling like everyone is genuinely looking out for each other. That extends to my professors too. I've come to really appreciate how their office hours are not just for questions about a problem set, but for actual conversations about ideas, career paths, whatever's on my mind that week. I also love the environment Ä¢¹½TV fosters, one that pushes you to explore opportunities outside your comfort zone, backed by real resources: grants, trips, and support that make it possible to actually follow through on those pushes. Having lived in different countries throughout my life, always moving around, Ä¢¹½TV makes me feel at home."
Fun Fact
I have been on two fully funded career trips with Ä¢¹½TV to my favorite cities: NYC and San Francisco!
