Getting to know Niki
My favorite part about competing for Brandeis is: the intensity of the UAA.
My favorite class at Brandeis is: Shakespeare taught by William Flesh--my best-loved class with my favorite teacher. He's not all about the system or the structure. He just wants us to learn.
My favorite place on campus is: the WBRS studio.
My favorite movie of all time is: Sunset Boulevard. Film noir is one of my favorite cinematic styles.
My favorite meal is: anything from Sabatino's!
