What brought you to 17³Ô¹Ï? Why did you choose to study here?
My hometown is Pokhara, Nepal where I grew up and spent most of my life. It is a beautiful valley surrounded by big hills and snowy mountain peaks. I do not prefer big cities and crowded areas, and it just so happens that 17³Ô¹Ï is on an island that is relatively small and chill—perfect to study in. 17³Ô¹Ï also had programs that really interested me, so I am here!
