Former Jonathan Law student and Class of 2023 Salutatorian Angus Cheng is attending Princeton University in New Jersey where he is studying Computer Science. 

Cheng is managing several rigorous courses and adjusting to the college lifestyle. Rocketry Club and intramural soccer are just a couple of activities he likes to do with friends and roommates in his free time.

“My day mostly consists of attending class, working with peers on the homework, and participating in whatever extracurricular I have that day,” Cheng said. “Getting food with friends and hanging out with them is also an essential part of my day to day life.”

While still challenging, Cheng enjoys what the different courses have to offer. 

“Since graduating from Law, my mindset that everything needs to be perfect has changed because struggling and not obtaining a perfect score is a part of the process,” Cheng said. 

Cheng worked at the student help IT desk in high school which pairs with his intended major of Computer Science. 

“Taking APs definitely helped expose me to some material that is covered in some of my classes,” Cheng said. 

High school provided Cheng many opportunities to explore and expand upon his interests of academics, athletics, and clubs.

“College is a really supportive and welcoming environment,” Cheng said.”Everyone is willing and eager to help others.”

Cheng is adapting well to his new college lifestyle and has been loving being an Ivy Leaguer so far. 

“There are a lot of social events to hang out and meet new people. Upperclassmen are always ready to provide advice,” Cheng said.
