But Nyala says despite her experience with living with a look-alike sister, it is still difficult for her to distinguish between Cabot's other set of twins.

"To me, they seem more alike than Nyasha and I do, but that's probably because I don't know them that well," she says.

Nyasha says she gets many questions about being a twin.

"I think it's funny when people ask what it's like being a twin. It's all I've known," she says.

Jennifer and Jocelyn

Cabot's other pair of twins live in rooms 400 and 402 in Cabot House entry H.

Jennifer Lynne Bush '97 and Jocelyn Lynne Bush '97 seem strikingly similar in both appearance and activities.

Both are taking the same four classes, both are biology concentrators, both have wanted to be doctors ever since they can remember, both want to go to medical school together and both are doing research in the same Indianapolis hospital this summer (although for two different doctors).

"Everybody always teases us, saying, "You are all the same person, you share the same brain,"' Jocelyn says. "That is completely annoying."

Jennifer says that although she and Jocelyn were not brought up like traditional twins, they are still nearly inseparable. "For the greater part of the day, we are always together," Jennifer says.

"My parents didn't raise us like we were twins," says Jennifer, who is two minutes older than Jocelyn. They said, "Jennifer, you are the middle child; you are older than your sister," Jennifer says.

Both sisters say they enjoy community service work at Phillips Brooks House, and both like reggae. One difference, however, is that Jocelyn is a vegetarian, and Jennifer is not.

The two say they enjoy roller-blading together, despite their lack of experience.

"We're both bad, so it's doesn't matter if we look bad in front of others--we have each other," Jennifer says.

And they both mentioned the advantages of having a "ready-made" study partner in every class.
