About me: Hey! I'm Mahika and I'm a first year at UW and an in-state student. I'm studying Public Policy and Public Service and minoring in Human Rights on a pre-law track and am a Cohort 4 Sisterhood Initiative student. This year I was a dancer on UW Raas (a competitive Indian dance team) despite not having danced before and competed with my team in Florida and Texas against other college Raas teams - lots of fun! I also have taken 2 language classes at UW and am happy to speak to the rigor and speed of learning a new language. I dormed in the Honors LLC, worked the duration of my first year, lived with a random roommate, and took max/more than the max amount of credits per quarter so I have lots to say about taking credits at UW.
