Avanti Patwardhan

About Me: Hi! I'm a rising junior from New Jersey studying Political Communications and Sociology. I love taking walks around the city, discovering cafes and study spots around campus, and taking spontaneous trips with my friends. In my free time, I love to read, watch shows and movies, sing, and dance (I'm a trained Indian classical dancer)! Fun fact, I'm currently studying abroad in Santiago, Chile! Feel free to reach out with questions, or just to say hi :) and welcome to the UHP!
