Become A Mentee

Learn the secret survival techniques of the physics department from someone who’s been there! As a mentee, you get an upperclassman physics student mentor as a confidant(e) and buddy, there to answer all your questions and to share their experiences as a physics major.

Hi!

I’m excited to have you join our program! The questions below will help me match you with a mentor—there are no wrong answers, and you won’t be rejected. Your responses will only be shared with me and your assigned mentor. Also, check out the Meet Our Mentors page! If someone stands out, feel free to mention them in the form. If you have questions or concerns, you can reach out to prism14@bu.edu.

I hope to meet you soon!
