Q: Did you live on campus? What was that experience like?
I lived on campus my first year of college. I remember having such an amazing experience living in the Stanford Residential College. I was able to meet new people and make so many friends that made every day such an adventure! Being so close to my classes, the on-campus events, and going to the dining hall with my roommate are memories I will always cherish.
