Afsah Shafquat |
I am an international student from Pakistan. I lived all my life in Karachi before I came to MIT for my undergrad three years ago. I have stayed in McCormick Hall for three years and absolutely love it. I will be a senior this fall, majoring in Course 6 (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) with a possible minor in BME (Biomedical Engineering). I enjoy both EE and CS immensely and haven’t decided between the two yet. When not studying, I like drawing, learning, eating, fixing up things, listening to music and hanging out with friends. |
 Christine Chen |
I’m a sophomore in Course 6 from Cupertino, California. I like to cook, read, and hang out with my friends. More often than not, my friends and I go on ice cream runs, even in the middle of winter. J I’m involved in a bunch of activities on campus including SWE, ESP, MIT TechFair, Spring Weekend, and 2012 Class Council.
I became an RAA because I really love everything about freshman year, from Pass/No Record to exploring what activities you want to commit to. I love answering questions about anything related to MIT, so don’t hesitate to ask! |
 Jing Li |
I'm from Lawrence, Kansas, home of the Jayhawks (best college basketball team ever! Let me know if you want to debate this). I am Course 6 and 14, and at MIT I try to make time for running, cooking, reading for fun, meeting new people, and hanging out with friends, though my interests also include crafts of all kinds, gardening, flute, games/puzzles, and lots of other random stuff. MIT doesn't leave me much time for them, but one can try right?
I applied to become an RAA because I want to get to know the new faces on campus better and help you with all the first-year adjustments like everyone helped me during my freshman year. |
 Karishma Rahman |
Hometown: NYC, New York
Course: 7. Hobbies: Sketching, Drawing.
I became an RAA because my RAA was amazing and really helped me transition into the MIT environment. I would love to help other freshmen do the same as an RAA. |
 Nicole Bucala |
I'm a junior in course 8 and course 17. That means I get to study how things work and how nations work! I'm from New Haven, CT. I like to practice speaking German; run, hike, and swim long distances; watch The Daily Show; and go-adventuring around Boston while listening to stormy Russian classical music.
I became an RAA because I love MIT and want to share the love with freshmen!! |
Shan Tie |
Hometown: Cleveland, OH.
Hobbies: Sketching, photography
Course: 10B.
Indulgent food: dark cherry chocolate with a hint of chili
Must do before I graduate: skydive
I joined RBA because I really felt that after going through freshmen year, it was a tough time and I felt it was now my time to share my knowledge and tips to help the incoming students.

Hometown: Columbus, OH / Bombay, India
Hobbies: pottery, reading, traveling, jumping around, sleeping, solving puzzles
Why I became an RAA: My freshman year, I realized the importance of having a good RAA and hope to be said mentor and friend to incoming freshman. I want to help them face the challenges of MIT while having an awesome, fun time! |
 Xinzhu Wang |
Hometown: Oak Ridge, TN
Hobbies: Playing the violin, reading, learning languages, watching dramas, traveling, eating.
Course: 15 and 3
I became a RAA because as a freshman last year, my RAA was extremely helpful when it came to picking classes and just adjusting to college life in general. It's like having someone always there for you. I want to share that experience with the freshmen this year. I can't wait to meet everyone! |
