Favorite Stanford Memory:"One of my best Stanford memories is from my freshman dorm. We all went to one of the events for New Student Orientation (NSO) and were getting in huge cheering contests with the other dorms. That was when I realized I had come to a place that would always have something exciting and new to offer me with plenty of interesting people to experience all those new things right along with me."
