Uyen Chu

Wearing too much black and white but still living a life of color

Hi guys! My name is Uyen (pronounced oo-ween). I was born in Saigon, Vietnam and currently living in Boston. I’m a junior majoring in Psychology with a focus in social psychology and minoring in Japanese. I spend most of my time reciting Japanese vocab and psychology concepts in my lovely goth/k-pop/devoid of color dorm room (I swear it’s not a phase). You can also catch me in my friends’ dorm rooms, watching anime and YouTube while munching on Domino’s (despite being lactose intolerant), grabbing boba EVERY weekend, and thrift shopping in Davis Square.


Buckle up and please enjoy my ramblings of being a first-gen student, low-income, and an immigrant, all at the lovely Tufts :)
