My name is Karan Lala I'm in the 
Professional Science Master's

Program in 
Biotechnology, and I'll

be graduating in spring of 2019.

I came to the University of 
San Francisco in August, 2018,

and it's really nice.

Apart from the classes, 
the culture is really nice.

The campus is really nice.

The faculty is 
extremely inspiring.

At the same time, I really 
appreciate the other students

as well, because we work 
in a lot of group projects.

And they're very 
like-minded people,

very focused on their 
goals, which really helps.

We had a lot of MBA 
courses in the first year,

and we finished all of them.

And in the second 
year, it's been

a lot more academic focused.

We've had bioinformatics, 
which involves a lot of coding.

And we've had lab-based 
classes as well.

The University of San Francisco 
has a really nice network

of alumni, faculty, 
current students as well.

And I've actually met 
the alumni repeatedly

at numerous occasions, because 
the biotechnology world

is actually kind of small.

So you keep meeting 
these people at events,

and it's a great way to learn 
about new internships and job

opportunities, and everyone 
kind of stays connected

and helps each other succeed.
