Inside Admissions

Tufts Admissions Team

Natalie Araya

Choose kindness.

Hey! I'm Natalie, a 21 year old from Westchester, New York. I'm a proud member of the class of 2018 who enjoys sipping on a hot cup of tea while learning all about International Relations.

Here are more things I enjoy:

-listening to my ":)" playlist on Spotify

-spending an hour or two in a coffee shop (esp. on a rainy day)

-the kind of weather where you can walk around in a sweater and jeans: autumn at Tufts

-snuggling with my cats

-you taking the time to read this.

Get comfy, put some hot water on your stove for a cup of tea, and read through my writing to hear all about my senior year, as I continue navigating this exciting, motivating, incredible and amazing experience called Tufts.
