On Attending Queen’s University

HC: What made you decide to attend Queen’s?

Dorothy: I came for the sense of community and tradition, which I felt the second I first came on campus. As well both of my parents went to Queen’s so I’d always heard amazing stories about it.

 

HC: What is your favourite part of Queen’s so far?

Dorothy: I really love all of the friends and relationships that I have made here. Tutorial sizes are also a big bonus – I love being in small classes where we can discuss the course content.

 

HC: Where’s your favourite place on campus?

Dorothy: I love the Harry Potter room in Douglas Library! It’s such a good place to study, and as a Harry Potter fan I feel right at home.

 

HC: What’s your favourite movie?

Dorothy: Her or Interstellar

 

HC: What’s your Dream Travel Destination?

Dorothy: Iceland

 

HC: If you could have dinner with one person, who would it be?

Dorothy: Obama! Not just because he’s the current president of the United States, but also because he seems like a really interesting guy.

 

HC: What’s your favourite place on earth?

Dorothy: Camp! I’m an outdoorsy person and I love being anywhere outside.

 

HC: If you were an animal, what would you be?

Dorothy: I’d be somewhere between and Otter and a Sloth. My personality is a combination of the two.

 

HC: What’s your favourite food?

Dorothy: Tacos and sushi- but not together!

 

HC: Can you describe your personality in one word?

Dorothy: Zesty! Like the Dorito.
