4. College Advice: Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Join any club you can, but also take time to experience and explore New Orleans. There's always something going on, so make memories on and off campus! 

5. Favorite Restaurant in New Orleans:  Gotta be Drago's. Their charbroiled oysters and seafood are the absolute best! 

6. Favorite New Orleans Festival: The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is one of the best. It's a super-rich duo weekend filled with culture, music, and food. It encompasses what New Orleans is all about. 

7. Favorite New Orleans Food: A crawfish boil! 

8. Favorite Loyola Tradition: The Mass of the Holy Spirit is a beautiful way to begin each school year. There is representation from various organizations across campus, including athletics, choir, and dance clubs. Even though most faculty and students are not Catholic, it is still a great way to interact with others and appreciate the Jesuit values. 

9. Favorite Place on Loyola's Campus: It has to be a toss-up between the study rooms in Monroe Library for late-night study sessions or Marquette Theatre for different theatrical productions held there. 

10. What's your favorite thing about Loyola? Loyola has a rich history in New Orleans, and it always surprises me how many people in the city have a story about Loyola. Both of my parents graduated from Loyola, so it's always fun to share that experience and story with those around me.
