Truitt Flink
Hey! I'm Truitt. Originally from the Bay Area, I graduated from St. Stephen's Episcopal School (Austin) in 2024, and spent my entire junior year studying abroad and living with a host family in Zaragoza, Spain. Whether you're still building your application list, making tough choice on which to commit to attending, or are an incoming Stanford student curious about what you're in for on The Farm, I will gladly share my experience with you to grant clarity and peace of mind you can't find on Google.
