"Feel free to ask me anything from what its like to be a student here to whats the difference between game programing and design concentrations. I have taken classes at another college while going here and know the processes that transfer students need to go through. I also am on track to graduate in three years and I know a lot of the cool and helpful programs at DePaul. I can help with general questions or more specific questions you have about DePaul."
