Favorite Place to eat

I love eating anywhere that has good food, and if I've never been to a place, that's even better.

Favorite Place to hang out

Anywhere my friends are, but if there's a park with some nice grass to throw a blanket on, I'm there.

Favorite Campus Activity

I love Argus Eyes.  It's so much fun and the people are hilarious.

Favorite Professor

Dr. DeStephano is both brilliant and highly entertaining.

Favorite place to shop

I love finding obscure record shops or book stores.  You'll never know what awesomeness you'll find there.

Why are you proud to be a Peacock?

I love being a part of this amazingly diverse and constantly-chaning community.  There are always new things to learn in and out of the classroom, and there are always new friends to meet.

Best SPC Memory

To pick just one would be a horrible injustice to the rest, but I do have to say that sleeping in Times Square was pretty great.

Best advice you could give the freshman class?

Keep an open mind, and open heart, and be ready with a pen and a paper to write the best stories of your life!
