It's been done...but once again ...
1) How do you think the future will play out for you?
The future... that's a heavy question. I would like it to work out so that I end up going to Med School after 3 years. And then hopefully I can be a doctor. I sincerely hope I don't stay in Albany. For all its benefits ... I still would like to move out. Probably to India, though I'm not sure how that would pan out. The only thing I would hate having to leave behind is my family. :(
2) What are the 5 things you hate most about going to UAlbany?
LOL...getting free info hunh! :P ;)
Hmmm....
a) I absolutely hate the drunk idiots who go here. But then, that's something I would have faced at any school. It just seems more so...because it's so immediate!
b) I hate the concreteness sometimes - but you get used to it, and you get used to ignoring it.
c) I hate the limited bus service. Not the timings really...it's just that I have to pay for all busses except 10, 11 and 12. And I find myself having to take the 13 a hell of a lot when I'm volunteering at AMC.
d) I hate the limited resources at Albany. I know that sounds weird since I live so close to the Mall...but then I don't really like the mall (so friggin expensive!!!). There just doesn't seem to be enough around the campus to do or shop at.
e) I hate the expenses - no one ever mentions the side expenses that build up at college. Membership fees for the different clubs, fees for lab cards and lab kits....there's a fee for everything!!! :( I also hate how expensive EVERYTHING (especially the food) is...but that's the cheap Indian in me talking I guess...
3) What are the 5 best things about Albany?
a) The Indian community here. What can I say!? I'm a FOB ... and I'm proud of it! :P No seriously...it's great. I was involved in dancing and had a blast both semesters! :D
b) The Campus Center - AVOID the cafeteria. It is injuriuous to your health! :( But the food at the CC is actually pretty decent! :D
c) Ritazza - where would I be without my Tall RockyRoad? or my Tall NuttyIrishman??? AH! :)
d) The variety - in everything from courses and professors to clubs and activities. :)
e) *hmm...uh oh! I'm running out... LOL no.... the best part is that I'm so close to home! I never have to worry about laundry, food, money...any of that. And I have the luxory of going home whenever I want! :)
4) In what ways do you think you've changed since you have graduated from high school?
I think I've become more independent, more outgoing, have gained a stronger sense of self-confidence and have learned to make sound choices and judgements. :)
5) Where did you actually want to go to this past year over UAlbany and why didn't you go?
I really wanted to (and still kinda do...) go to Univ of Rochester. It's a great school with a name that is recognized. Eventually at some point that name on the resume will probably look better than UAlbany. But I realize the education ultimately is the same. It the expectancy level that differs...which pushes students further and farther at UofR. But I'm content at Albany. I chose it because my parents told me to... LOL. That and they were right when they said that Albany would afford me a better chance at Med. School.
Rules: Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me." I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not so creepy/personal. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
