Interview
Who is your favorite professor?
"Professor O'Hara... He makes class interesting. He's witty and inspires and challenges me to be a better student."
Have you studied abroad, done service learning, or completed an internship yet?
"Not yet, but I am really interested in interning for a publishing company or a humanitarian organization."
Where is your favorite place to hangout on campus?
"Probably the Grind. I go there with my friends to eat, study, or just relax!"
What do you like to do on the weekends?
"My friends and I like to try different restaurants in the area and we love going to concerts! Most recently we saw the All American Rejects at Villanova University and we're planning on seeing The Early November in Philadelphia."
What interesting activities do you do during the week?
"In the evenings, after classes, my friends and I like to explore the Main Line- sometimes we go to Borders to study and sometimes we go on shopping sprees!"
Do you go to Philadelphia often?
"I don't go into Philly as often as some Rosemont students, but when I do go, I love walking around Chinatown or spending the day at the Art Museum."
Finally, what is the craziest thing you've done at Rosemont so far?
"Well, during finals week of my first year, my friends and I went to New York City to see the Bamboozle tour! It was crazy because we were gone all weekend and got back Sunday evening. I had a final paper due Monday morning so I had to pull an all-nighter just to get it done! It was worth it though, the concert was great and I got an A on the paper!"
