>> One of the biggest things that I was attracted to was the cultural diversity here.
I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and it was pretty standard.
Every day is kind of the same culturally.
I came here and the diversity was awesome in terms
of helping me understand different demographics, which I said is one
of the biggest things you have to be in touch with as a designer.
I was in a fraternity, Phi Lambda Phi, that really helped me form strong bonds
to the university and also the people that I was going to school with.
So that really brought me closer to campus.
I commuted my first two years.
So joining the fraternity and living on campus and having some people to kind of be
with on a daily basis was really helpful in terms of bringing me closer to the university.
