As finals week comes to an end, brains are fried and stress levels are running high. Relax, collegiettes™! Her Campus TCNJ is here, equipped with some eye candy to take your mind off exams. Daydream away about this week’s Campus Cutie, Dan Nguyen! When this Bio major isn’t GEL’n (Gym-Eik-Library), you might find him hanging out in Alumni Grove or listening to Chris Brown. With summer days away, make sure you keep an eye out for this Campus Cutie — we can’t think of a better way to procrastinate.

What’s an ideal first date? Anywhere my date and I can feel comfortable and be ourselves because that makes it easier to get to know one another. Something casual like the movies or just hanging out and being goofy is enough for me. Going to a fancy restaurant where my main concern is “I hope I don’t spill sauce on my shirt” instead of listening to my date is meaningless.
Pet peeves or weird habits? A pet peeve would definitely be when everyone in line at Eickhoff is waiting for chicken but only hamburgers are flying off the grill and placed on the counter. I also don’t like when people wear socks with toe-thong flip flops.
Three words that describe you: Passionate, Funny, Extroverted
Plans for the future: I hope to go to medical school after TCNJ and fulfill my dreams of becoming an Orthopedic Surgeon as well as owning my own Sports Facility and Rehabilitation Center.
Why did you choose TCNJ? It is really convenient to go home whenever I want and it is great academically for my major.
