Hello Class of 2027!
I am an ACF junior at SDSB and I am so proud of you!! Congratulations on making it to LUMS. I’m aware that for some of you, LUMS was your dream school while for others the backup option after a myriad of problems stopped you from going abroad (um grad school maybe?). Whatever it may have been, I want to tell you that YOU have the ability to make these the best 4 years of your life. And I will be here to enable you to achieve this feat! I know, I know, it may seem intimidating at the moment, but rest assured that LUMS provides you with all the resources for a smooth transition. Including me, as your peer advisor, your coaches and departments dedicated especially to you and all the people you’re going to meet on the way!
LUMS truly is the best that Pakistan has to offer. You will not only learn inside classrooms here but the real magic happens outside, where you get to experience your life for the first time as an adult. The societies, the events, the social settings will teach you alot in itself. However, please do not get overwhelmed or lost in the bubble. You will need to prioritize and keep a good work-life balance. Sounds hard? Don’t worry, taking the right steps now will ease you in the LUMS lifestyle effortlessly. You can’t expect to not run into any problems, but you will solve some, while some will become lessons. Just don’t shy away from making use of all the resources that have been curated for you.
Personally, I am not exaggerating when I say I truly love my time at LUMS. Be it the late-night study sessions with my friends, the moments I get to experience at society events or even the daily food rendezvous, I enjoy it all. But believe me, I didn’t come frolicking into the campus knowing it all. I took my sweet time fitting into the puzzle. My dear freshman, it will all come to you. And if it doesn’t, what am I here for? Best of luck kiddos! We all got this!!
