Why did you choose DePaul?

I choose DePaul not only because it’s located in the heart of city of Chicago, but also because of the unique quarter system as well all it has to offer for its students. I know many people who have graduated from DePaul and they all loved it.

 

What’s your favorite spot to hang out on campus?

My favorite place to hang out on campus is right on the quad especially on a nice day , i always meet someone new and interesting .

 

What do you do as a member of the Polish Student Alliance?

As a member of the DPSA, I meet new Polish people, attend Polish events like the Polish film festival, and I also get to learn more about my culture.

 

What’s your favorite thing about being Polish?

My favorite thing about being Polish is absolutely everything. The food is great, the people are fun and welcoming, and the Polish culture is filled with tradition and history.

 

What do you do in your free time?

In my free time, I love checking out local restaurants, and going to cupcake shops and thrift stores. I also love to watch documentaries about issues going on throughout the world.  

 

What are you most proud of from your first quarter at DePaul?

I am most proud of the fact that I have not had a break down moment. Not yet at least. I was able to balance school life along with my social life really well.

 

What are you looking forward to for the rest of the school year?

I am most looking forward to meeting new people and taking interesting courses.

How are you spending your winter break?  

I will be working at the Christkindl Market on Daley Plaza.
