Elysia Chang

Tales from an International Student

Hey, what's up, hello! My name is Elysia, and I'm an incoming freshman from Singapore. I love eating chicken nuggets, hiking with my HydroFlask, making Spotify playlists, dental hygiene, art museums, making lists, drawing on whiteboards, napping & iced coffee. Here, you'll be able to follow my journey as I learn to navigate life at Tufts while balancing my studies, finding new interests, and adjusting to life overseas! Happy reading :)
