Tour Guide at Mount Holyoke College
Class of 2027
Hometown: Sindh, Pakistan
Major: Psychology
Concentration: Cognitive Neuroscience
Secondary Major: Statistics
I chose Mount Holyoke College because...
of their commitment to experiential learning, diversity, student-faculty collaboration, and maintaining a close-knit, supportive community :)
My favorite class is...
Cognitive Neuroscience with Prof. Breen! We explored the neural correlates behind cognitive processes such as attention, perception, memory and more. It made me certain I was interested in exploring such concepts further because there is still so much left to discover about the brain!
My favorite MHC tradition is...
Pangy Day! There's a picnic with fun performances, we get to make flower-crowns and bracelets, and do the maypole dance!
My advice to prospective students is...
Showcase your most authentic self in your college application and do your research to find colleges that fit you! Rejections are not a reflection of your worth, they only mean that those places would not have been the right fit for you.
