What he looks for in a significant other: I look for someone who has a great personality, similar interests to me and prudent life goals.
Why he picked Providence: My mom grew up in Little Compton, Rhode Island, and her whole family is up here, so it’s nice to go to school close to my grandparents and other relatives. Also, I love New England, even though it can be quite cold in the winter. In terms of academics, PC fosters a unique college learning experience through the small class sizes that I really benefit from.
