Andre Bochat

About Me: My name is Andre, and I'm from the Chicago suburbs. I'm a biology major, and I'm following the pre-med track. Some of my hobbies are running, photography, and visiting museums. On campus, I'm a member of the GW Sailing Team and the Global Surgery Student Alliance. I recently got back from studying abroad in Florence and have some great recommendations for anyone interested in studying abroad. A fun fact about me is that I have a border collie back home!
