Why I love UD/Why I Recruit for UD: UD is so unique! There are many opportunities to get involved on campus, and I am excited to experience and observe UD's campus life and activities! Also, a semester in Rome?! The opportunity to travel abroad is the coolest thing a college student can do. The community is special, and something about it makes you feel at home. You have to come experience it for yourself!
Favorite Spot on Campus: The Mall. I love to observe the diversity of campus! I also enjoy seeing professors and students talking outside of the classroom. Shout out to the Maher Center. I love walking to the coaches office and chatting with them about their season and sports!
Where Do You Hang Out in Dallas? You can catch me at every bubble tea shop in Dallas - I am a bubble tea fanatic! I am determined to try every bubble tea shop in Dallas. My favorites so far are Moge Tea, Tealatte Bar and Gongcha!
Favorite Movie: I enjoy all Disney movies! Mulan, Lilo & Stitch and High School Musical 1,2 & 3!
Favorite Place to Eat in DFW: Ari Korean BBQ, Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, and Lucas Tacos! Any restaurant in K-Town!
Favorite UD Event: Undergraduate Admissions Open House Events!
Favorite/Coolest Place I have Visited: South Korea! I spent a month in Korea and explored Seoul and even went to the coast to Busan and enjoyed all the seafood they had to offer!
Advice to Prospective Students: Ask questions! Visit Campus! Do all your research! Make sure it is where you can see yourself for the next four years. Also, make sure it is a campus that will help you grow academically and socially! College is an experience that you will always hold dear in your heart, so make sure that your college of choice is the right fit. Hopefully, it will be University of Dallas!
