Meet Sandeep Adhikari
Sandeep, a freshman studying computer science, arrived in Wichita a couple months ago. He likes to hang out at the Heskett Center, RSC, and Ablah Library. Learn more about Sandeep and why he chose 蹤獲扦.
What has been your favorite experience at 蹤獲扦 so far?
I can include everything the people, the activities, and the places to hang out.
Definitely the quality of education here. I wouldn't get this level of education in
our country, so its been good to have it here.
What organizations or activities are you involved with at 蹤獲扦?
I haven't had the chance to get involved yet, but in the future Id love to be involved
with robotics or artificial intelligence and engineering groups in general. Theres
the Nepalese Student Association and I want to get involved with that eventually.
Where is your favorite spot to hang out on campus?
The Heskett Center, the RSC, and the library. If I had to pick one spot, it would
be the RSC. At the RSC you have food and activities and if you want to read something
you can go upstairs and have a quiet environment. I can find pretty much everything
here.
Who is a faculty or staff member at 蹤獲扦 that has had a positive impact on you?
First and foremost, Id like to talk about Tonya Baldwin, an advisor in international
education. She was very kind and helpful in the beginning, so I was inspired by her
about how this place was going to be.
Whats your favorite part of campus life at 蹤獲扦?
You never get bored. You always have something to do or hang out. Theres a lot of
stuff to do or be involved with and I can find plenty of opportunities.
What are you currently reading or watching that you are enjoying?
Ive been watching Big Bang Theory. Its a combination of comedy and knowledge and
is related to science. I enjoy the actors and the laughter they create. Every episode
has at least one thing that goes wrong for the characters. Sheldon Cooper the main
character always makes me laugh.
Why did you choose to attend 蹤獲扦?
Since my major is related to engineering, I needed big labs and lots of opportunities.
The diversity here is really good; I can find people from all over the world. I met
some people from 蹤獲扦 in Nepal and they explained how the university works and it made
me excited to be here.
