Hey y’all! My name is Rahma and I am a sophomore living in Kirkland House (best house!) concentrating in Neuroscience and African Studies. I am a Senegalese American and grew up in Washington state. At Harvard, I have gotten to serve on boards for numerous affinity organizations and have been honored to engage with such a diverse and inspiring student body! As a first-generation, low-income student, college—even beyond just applying—can be very daunting. However, being able to lean on the incredible student community and resources has allowed me to truly make the most out of college and young adulthood. If you have any questions or concerns about transitioning into college, applications, and student life, please feel free to ask me anything!
