Name: Allie Kenny
Year: Freshman, 2017

How would you describe your style?:
Definitely preppy in the winter and eclectic bohemian/hippie in the summer.
Favourite clothing labels?:
Free People, and I shop online a lot at shopbop.com and tobi.com for cute going out dresses to wear at school.
Relationship status:
In a Relationship
What do you look for in a guy?:
I like drama-free relationships because I hate fighting and confrontation. My ideal guy has to be fun and be able to make me laugh.
How has the freshman experience been so far?:
I found Duke slightly overwhelming at first but incredibly welcoming to freshmen, and the best part for me has been finding a solid group of friends. Fitting in wasn’t really tough transition because I already knew some people in my grade coming into Duke and also friends of my brother.
What would your perfect date be?:
Being taken out to dinner followed by hanging out on the beach.
Favourite off-campus restaurants in Durham?:
Nana’s (Italian) and Matteo’s (tapas bar)
Celebrity crush?:
Ryan Gosling
What are your hobbies?:
I did a lot of journalism in high school and I would maybe like to write for The Chronicle, and also possibly play Club Lacrosse.
What are your academic interests?:
I’m considering being an Art History major so I am in an introduction course for that, and I am also taking Psychology and a New Testament class this semester.
