What is your favourite thing about the College?

It’s hard to pick a favourite but I’d say it’s the overwhelming sense of community. Everyone experiences the exact same ups and downs of the HUMS curriculum so there’s always help to be had if you complain about your papers loudly enough in the lounge.

What will you miss the most?

Being around my classmates in the comfiest lecture hall on campus. Nothing beats being half-asleep in 303 before class and listening in on an insane off-topic debate about the course material.

What is your favourite reading/book/text from the program?

It’s a tie between The Canzoniere by Petrarch (because the lectures were fantastic) and Rameau’s Nephew by Diderot (because it frustrated me so, so much).

What’s next for you?

I’ll be doing a Masters in Library Science at Western University!
