Meet Nicole Gomez – Nieto, a junior here at Sacred Heart University! I met Nicole during our sophomore year, and in that short period of time, she has grown to become one of my best friends.
Nicole went random for sophomore year housing and was placed into my suite in North. She fit in with our group perfectly and we have all been close ever since.
She is one of the kindest and funniest people that I have ever met!
