Why I chose DU: I came from a very small high school (I graduated with 19 other students), and visited just about every college in the state of Colorado.  I loved the fact that DU had small class sizes and personable faculty.  But the best part about DU was the fact that I could see myself here.  I could envision myself going crazy at a hockey game, living in Johnson-McFarlane, and learning from some absolutely phenomenal professors.  Something just clicked, and I have never regretted my decision. 

My favorite memory at DU:   We play a game of water-rugby in the pool, and named it Bratz.  Don’t ask me why.  My friends and I play every Thursday night, and it is a source of constant ribbing during the week.  I love it. 

Internship Experience while at DU:  I have two internships at the moment, one with a water-law related organization called the Colorado Water Congress and another with the campaign to elect Andrew Romanoff to the U.S. Senate.  I found both internships through great professors that really wanted to help me find an internship. 

Why I chose to study abroad:  I chose to study abroad in Rome, Italy.  Part of my father’s ancestry is from Italy, and I have always been fascinated about Roman history, with the advancement of democracy in particular.  I loved Rome, with the somehow seamless mix of modern buildings with ancient structures.  I also was able to travel around Europe and sort of compare cultures and societies.  Being a senior, I miss studying abroad, but it was an excellent experience.
