Name: Kevin King

Hometown: Robbinsville, NJ

Class: 2018

Major: Architecture

What are you involved in? Honors student association, American Institute of arch students, Alpha Lambda Delta, which is a national honors society, future alumni association, Rambassador, and First Year Seminar Peer mentor.

Hobbies? I really like reading I feel like such a nerd right now!  When I have time I’ll read, and going to the gym is another hobby. I also like photography too.  I’m like an amateur photographer.

What do you plan to do after graduation? I want to start my own firm or come back and teach architecture on campus, obviously.

Could you ever imagine doing something but architecture?  I have thought about sometimes when I get real stressed I’m like, I’m going to drop out. If I changed my major I’d probably be a cartographer which is a map maker, I love maps I told you I was a nerd either that or do historic preservation.

Favorite place on campus and why?  The Ann Gallagher Fountain Garden outside of the White House, because its relaxing. I fell asleep there the second day of freshman year for four hours

How would you describe your personality?  Personable, I like to think I’m chill sometimes I enjoy having a good time like everyone else but I’m also very career orientated and career driven, as well as involved

Favorite place off campus? Boston if we aren’t talking about Philly but I love the city as a whole.

Favorite place off campus near here? Manayunk, especially right before Christmas. They do a tree lighting as well as ice sculptures down Mainstreet. It’s most fun you will ever have! I love Christmas!  I start decorating the day after thanksgiving, tree up, garland on the banister. Freshman year they have a tree sale where they were giving trees away and we planted one behind Ronson where it stayed up till the snow melted.
