Her Campus: Why did you decide to go to Brandeis?
Anna Stern: I wanted to go to Brandeis because I loved the beautiful campus, the emphasis on social action, and the incredible community. I also wanted to go to Brandeis because I wanted a school that was big enough to have a variety of friends but small enough that I would see familiar faces. Brandeis is also close to Boston, the ideal college town. Plus my family lives 15 minutes away .
HC: How did you first get involved with Her Campus?
AS: I always knew I wanted to write for Her Campus at whatever school I went to because it’s fun to read and the Buzzfeed for college girls. I saw the Her Campus booth at the activity fair the first week of school and the rest is history.
HC: What else are you involved in on campus?
AS: I am a proud sister of DPhiE, a dancer in B’yachad- the semi-professional Israeli dance group, a chatter in admissions, and I write for the Arts section of The Justice.
HC: Why do you write for Her Campus?
AS: I write for Her Campus because I can choose what I want to write about and write about topics that I love. I love having the freedom to decide what I want to write about and have fun with my articles.
HC: What is your favorite part about Brandeis?
AS: My favorite part about Brandeis is definitely the people. I have met so many awesome people in my first semester here and I know I will maintain these friendships for a long time. I also love that there is so much to get involved in and so many groups to be a part of. Brandeis is such a close community and I love how friendly and open everyone is to each other.
HC: What is something you wish you could’ve done at campus that you ended up not doing?
AS: As a freshman I still have some time left, but I look forward to being in a musical or play besides the 24 Hour Musical and maybe have a radio show! I wish that I auditioned for more improv groups and became active in Waltham Group. It’s not too late!
HC: What do you want to do after Brandeis?
AS: After Brandeis I want to write for an online magazine similar to Buzzfeed or Her Campus or be an elementary school teacher.
