Ross

College is a whole new world for those freshmen traveling campus for the first time. The State News sat down with one of these brave explorers to get a glimpse, in 15 questions or less, at a new face on campus and her perspective on her new frontier.

Meet Alex Ross

1. What is your hometown?

I’m from a city outside of Chicago. It’s called Wilmette.

2. What is your major?

Arts and humanities, RCAH (Residential College in the Arts and Humanities).

3. What do you think of MSU?

It’s big and cold.

4. Do you enjoy living in the dorms?

Yeah, I like it a lot because if you want to see someone they’re just, like, 10 steps away. You don’t have to get in your car and drive somewhere.

5. What is your favorite meal in the cafeteria?

The mashed potatoes and pretty much anything in the dessert aisle.

6. If you could take Tom Izzo or Mark Dantonio as a date to your senior prom, whom would you choose and why?

Can I get those names again?

Tom Izzo, the men’s basketball coach, or Mark Dantonio, the football coach.

Am I the only one on campus who doesn’t know what these names are? Probably. I’m gonna go basketball. Sounds good.

7. What is your favorite place on campus?

I like my dorm room. I have a little cave going on.

8. What are you afraid of?

Spiders. I got bit by a poisonous spider over the summer, and now I’m like freaked out if I see one, like, anywhere near me. I like, go all like girlish screamy. It’s bad.

9. Why did you choose MSU?

Good question. I kind of picked random colleges based on which had a nice ring to it, and then when I got in the RCAH, I really liked that program, so I decided to come here.

10. Who is your favorite president in U.S. History?

I like George Washington because I see him the most in my wallet.

11. What is the theme song of your freshman year?

Have you seen ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’? Well, the theme song to that.

12. Describe your perfect Sunday.

I sleep in really late and then I eat junk food and relax.

13. What is your favorite TV Show?

You know the VH1 ‘Love’ reality TV shows? Pretty much those. Anything where there’s drunken fighting, I’m really good with.

14. Who is your favorite fast-food icon?

Big Boy.
