Majoring in astrophysics while minoring in mathematical science, Levin spends a lot of her time juggling coursework, 划船练习, 周末的体育比赛. “This semester is definitely more busy for me than those in the past,” shared Levin. “I’m really trying to be more disciplined on completing work whenever I can throughout the day.”
Levin is a coxswain on the men’s lightweight crew team through the Columbia-Barnard Athletic Consortium, which gives Barnard the distinction as the only women’s college whose students participate in 常青藤联盟运动会 以及NCAA一级体育赛事. 在转到利记APP官网之前, Levin competed on the heavyweight 划船 team at George Washington University as an undergraduate for two years.
“I love how open and friendly every一个 at Barnard is,” said Levin. “I’ve found that the thing I missed the most from GW was the people, and D.C., but I’m so grateful for the relationships I’ve been able to create here as well.”
