Why did you choose UMass Lowell? The reason why I chose UMass Lowell was that my parents did not want me to attend an out of state school. Even though UMass Lowell was not my first choice, I would not have it any other way. UMass Lowell is a great school that has given me so many opportunities and experiences I would not have had otherwise.
 
What is your favorite thing about UMass Lowell? My favorite things about UMass Lowell are all the great people that I have met while being here. I also like the fact that the campus is so close to my hometown; it is very easy for me to go home if I need to.
 
What is your ideal Saturday? On my ideal Saturday, I would do nothing but knit and hang out with awesome people. Then I would befriend a magical genie/ unicorn/ Pegasus and we would go for a ride into the sunset.
