| Wafa K. Class of 2012
Hometown: Alexandria, VA Major/Minor: Neuroscience/history of science and technology Current residence: Wolman Hall Campus involvement: SAAB, JHUMUNC, MSA, Amnesty International, HERU, ASA, HOPE, Tutorial Project, Share Why I chose Johns Hopkins: While the campus, the students, the close proximity to home and the research opportunities really pulled me in, the aspect that solidified my decision to come to Hopkins was the class selection. We have the most amazing and fascinating classes taught by brilliant professors. Favorite class: It would have to be a tie between Jim Crow in America and Introduction to Cognitive Neuropsychology.

What myth about Johns Hopkins frustrates you the most? That we are all pre-med students. I, personally, intend on being a pre-med student, but more students are not than are. Our programs in engineering, international relations, Writing Seminars, near eastern studies, etc., are so strong that they attract students who, in fact, do not want to become doctors. Why I am glad I chose Hopkins: Being surrounded every day, all the time, by students who are motivated and excited to study whatever field they are interested in makes me even more enthralled with my own area of study and classes. My ideal three-day weekend: I would fly to Montreal with my family and hang out with my aunt and her family. The days would have to include trips to my favorite Italian restaurant, Ferrari, and my favorite Mexican restaurant, Three Amigos, as well as Vieux-Port, Centreville and Place-des-Arts.
