| Lauren C. Class of 2011
Hometown: Westmont, NJ Major/Minor: Writing Seminars major, film and media studies minor Current residence: Off-campus Campus involvement: Alpha Phi sorority, Student Admissions Advisory Board, Hopkins Hosting Society, Student Advisor, Film Society Why I chose Johns Hopkins: My major reason for choosing JHU was being lucky enough to receive the Bloomberg Scholarship. If I hadn't, I honestly could not have dreamt of coming here at all! And I am grateful every day for being able to attend. I love the beautiful campus, I love the city of Baltimore, and I love all of the wonderful people I have met. It sounds cliché, but Hopkins is a truly comfortable fit for me.

Where I see myself in 10 years: While I have high hopes of working in New York City in magazine publishing, enjoying a beautiful home in the suburbs with a big porch and a yard, and someday owning a pair of Manolos, my biggest goal in life is to have a large family. Dreams and success are great, but they mean nothing to me if I don't have a strong group of loved ones to share them with! Favorite spot on the Homewood campus: I have three: the slope of grass behind Hodson Hall that faces Olin Hall (it's beautiful and feels very woodsy there); the brick stairs of Maryland Hall that lead to the lower quad; and the President's House lawn.
