Meet the latest University of Oregon campus celebrity: Nicky Schneidman.
Year: Senior
Major: Sociology and a nonprofit organization minor
Hometown: Beverly Hills, California
HCO: What brought you to UO?
I was going to stay in California because I’m very close to my family but I wanted to do my own thing and experience something new. I wanted to expand my horizons and have something very different that was set apart from everyone I know.
HCO: What organizations have you been involved in at UO?
In Oregon I really stuck with Greek life as my connect to social life. I know a lot of people rag on Greek life and say individuals are just “buying friends,” but I think enrolling in the recruitment program is just like enrolling in any other program offered on campus. I would never have met my best friends without Greek life and my experience here would not have been as epic as it has without it.
HCO: What has been your favorite memory at UO?
My favorite memories at U of O have been dancing in the backyard of my friend’s houses singing along to all the music and thinking, as cheesy as it sounds, that these days should never end!
HCO: What are your plans for after graduation?
When I graduate, I plan to join my dad in the real estate family business. I will be working part-time at a dance studio that I have worked at for two years now, and hope to join in on the amazing cause and organization that is Make a Wish Foundation in Los Angeles. I will be living with one of my best friends from high school in an apartment. But you can always catch me at future football games. Once a duck, always a duck.
