Name: Lukas Schwab
Year: Freshman
School: College
Major: Computer Science with a Film and Media Studies minor
Why did you choose Georgetown?
Georgetown is the right place to explore Computer Science for social good. Also, a friend at Harvard once called it “the land of milk and honeys.” (this is a joke)
Favorite thing about Georgetown:
The people! Everyone’s so brilliant. Makes up for rent and traffic.
Favorite thing to do in DC:
“Working in coffee shops” might be a nice way to explain away my caffeine dependence, but in DC it genuinely feels like every cafe looks out onto a completely different city.
Something people don’t know about you:
I’m really into film and into writing. Sometimes I write about film.
Three things you can’t live without:
Ascending:
Field Notes (all sorts, too many)
Bike (1983 Casati Perfection and the love of my life)
Trello (compulsive task management)
Ideal first date:
This has way more to do with people than plans.
Guilty pleasures:
My relationship with Jamba Juice is my second most complicated relationship Of All Time, second only to a girl I dated in middle school. Like middle school romance, my Jamba Juice addiction is long-lived and bad.
Bucket list:
I figure I should learn as much as possible before I die, but I’d be lying if I told you I have any plans beyond a list of books to read, films to watch, and places to bike. I guess I want to learn product photography? Hmm.
