She might be furiously tapping away at her computer on creative writing critiques or watching political TV show <em>Scandal<\/em>. She lent some of her time from her usual activities to talk to &#8216;Humans of IMSA.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sai Talluru heard about IMSA through her two really close friends and then current-IMSA students. Their anecdotes on \u201cthe attractive male population, the variety of opportunities in STEM, the residential experience, and the great teachers\u201d \u00a0inspired her to apply, though she jokingly laments that one of those fell short of expectations.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12549\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/files\/2014\/03\/014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12549\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12549 \" alt=\"Sai browses the IRC shelves, choosing which book to pose with for a picture.\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/files\/2014\/03\/014-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/files\/2014\/03\/014-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/files\/2014\/03\/014-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/files\/2014\/03\/014-82x55.jpg 82w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12549\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Behind-the-scenes: Sai browses the IRC shelves, choosing which book to pose with for a picture.<\/p><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Beyond that one expectation though, Sai mentions there are other aspects of IMSA she would change.
