Rishika was looking for 3 Things in a college she would call home for 4 years.
First, the types of academics the college offered. Rishika had diverse, interdisciplinary interests. And so she wanted her college to have broad programs with the flexibility to choose and encourage exploration.
Second, the college should have extracurricular opportunities related to service work, arts and research that she was passionate about.
Third, she was looking for a cultural fit - a college with a culturally diverse, intellectually curious student body, that would challenge her thinking, and one she could collaborate with and learn from each other.
