À propos de cet audio
River loves the varied and welcoming communities across campus and has found a home in many creative spaces at Wesleyan, including dance and a literary society. But freshman year was also a time of confronting their learning style, and navigating the structural conventions that pre-med students face. They negotiated successfully with some professors to modify testing formats, and earned top grades, but the experience prompted deep reflection, and ultimately River decided to approach the sciences differently, and that has made all the difference. Hear more about how River navigated the early days - from the sometimes exhausting "mandatory fun" of orientation to settling into the dorm, and some surprising insights about affinity groups.
