A Computer Science major who knows about every secret spot on campus.
Hi! I'm Hussain, a sophomore here. When I first stepped onto this campus, I didn't know a single soul — but that changed the moment I found the prayer room. Walking in and meeting a handful of fellow Muslim students who instantly felt like family made this huge campus feel like home in a way I didn't expect so soon. Since then, that little corner has become one of my favorite spots — a place to recharge, connect, and just breathe between classes. But honestly, going there still gives me that same feeling every single time. I'd love to show you around, share where you can find community no matter what that looks like for you, and give you the honest scoop on what student life is really like here. Come with questions — I've got answers (and maybe a few good stories too).

Describe your college experience
Till now my experience with college is good. I think the course work we are following here in college is so generic and old and require a strict changes. Overall, from my perspective college is all about socializing making meaningful connections that last for long enough.
Tip for future students
My suggestion would be, try everything even if it looks irrelevant to your filed. In these 4 years of college, we are just figuring out what to do.
Favorite class
I think so the most interesting class in my credit list is Intro to Philosophy. In this class, I was able to think about believes which were absolute to me because I inherit them from my parent.
Career goals
I actually want to get into PHD program after graduation. Eventually, going for a startup in my field
Ideal way to spend a free night
For night I would simply sleep. However, my ideal way to spend a free day is get out of this busy life and camp at some quite green spot. I would love to spend my time without any digital gadgets, with my thoughts.
