As a resident and a house fellow, the residence halls were foundational in my social and academic college experience. Through neighbors down the hall, I found several of my best friends, learned about cultures from around the world and developed curiosities for academic disciplines I hardly knew existed. With nearly all first-year students living on campus, Housing helps form intimate communities to contrast the enormity of the University and brings together students from all academic, regional and ideological backgrounds to an unstructured social setting — a phenomenon not found elsewhere at the school to such significance.

When I’m not at school during the summer, I’m back home at my parents’ house, where I grew up. We have a pool out back, and it’s my favorite thing in the world--on a hot summer day, there’s nothing better than plunging in there.
