For Sundar, studying is best done at Snell Library. “You'll have access to a lot of resources,” he says. Here, students get to work in learning and collaboration spaces with the latest technology and tools that are changing the world around us, including professional-grade 3D printing, video, audio and design tools. Participatory events and workshops that showcase scholarship at Northeastern and provide opportunities to develop one's skills and expertise are also held here.
Last semester, Sundar's favorite after-class activity was participating in the 360 Huntington Fund. It's a student-managed mutual fund where you hold a position on the management team and learn the responsibilities associated with running a real mutual fund — or advance to a leadership position through active participation over several semesters.
“To be honest, I'm an introvert. But joining the fund gave me a lot of confidence. I had the opportunity to give presentations that improved my confidence,” she enthuses. “It also gave me insights into the financial markets and a better understanding of how stocks work and how to analyze them – both qualitatively and quantitatively.”
