This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fordham chapter.

Name: Agostino Conte

Single or Taken? Taken. 

Why did you choose Fordham? Fordham was my one and only choice! Since my parents work here, I’ve always known about Fordham. The last four years that I have been here have been great. I’m actually part of the e-board for the Commuting Students Association.  I am the executive communication coordinator for CSA. Basically, I am in charge of a lot of the CSA posters you see around campus. I really enjoy working in this position because it gives me a chance to work with graphic designs. 

What do you look for in a girl? I’ll be honest here: At first, looks are what attract me to a girl. The first time I saw my girlfriend, I couldn’t stop saying “wow” in my head. When I got to know her, I instantly fell in love with her personality. She definitely has to have a good sense of humor. I like to joke around a lot and make her smile, so if she’s too serious it’s not going to work out. I also like a girl who is relaxed. She knows how to just enjoy the simple things in life and take it easy by my side. As long as I’m spending time with her, I don’t really care what we are doing as long as we are doing it together. 

Hobbies: I really like techno music. My favorite artist is Basshunter  P.S. I don’t fist pump to this music, I prefer to arm swish! I also like learning about the Japanese culture. 

Since you are dating one, what is it that makes Fordham girls so special? They are intelligent women. I’m lucky I’ve got the most intelligent one of all.
