A Week as a Student

Your alarm blares, pulling you from sleep. Today kicks off with a Molecular & Cellular Biology lecture; Professor Evans makes complex cell pathways surprisingly engaging. Afterwards, in your introductory Biostatistics lab, you wrestle with RStudio, trying to input data correctly. Your TA, Maya, quickly clarifies a syntax error, "It's all about precision here." Later, you grab lunch with new friends from orientation, debating campus dining options and swapping class schedules. A good start to understanding the scientific foundations of health.
