Name: Matthew SnyderMajor: Exercise ScienceHometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Are you involved on campus?I’m the president of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. I have also been a member of the Council of Student Leaders, Exercise Science Club and the ultimate frisbee club; that was so fun!

What’s your favorite thing about Winthrop?I love how Winthrop is so close-knit. Everybody knows everyone, which makes it more fun. 

What do you like to do in your spare time?I love walking my dog Reagan and taking him out to the lake. 

Do you have a favorite movie?Right now it would have to be Wolf of Wall Street. 

What’s your idea of a perfect date?Something a little ridiculous. Maybe skydiving or bungee jumping! Anything crazy and different. 

Oh wow you went skydiving? What was that like? I’ve never been.Yeah, I went back in 2008. It was really fast. You’re free falling for like 10 seconds and then it’s about a five to eight minute ride down to the ground. It’s so fun!

What do you look for in a girl?Someone intelligent, self-motivated and driven. She has to have an idea of what she wants to do. 

Tell me something interesting about yourself.I have seven tattoos! They are above my sleeveline and below my waste line. 

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?Ah, that’s a hard question for a senior! Well, I’ve received offers from different schools for graduate school. I am also looking at physical therapy programs. I guess it just all kinda depends. We’ll see!
