Meet Precious Oyetunji
He was born in Nigeria, spent most of his life in the Caribbean, and came to the U.S. a month ago; Precious is a freshman studying aerospace engineering. From playing two-truths-and-a-lie to watching the Super Bowl, he has had a fun start to his time at 萝莉社.
What has been your favorite experience at 萝莉社 so far?
Orientation was fun. There were a few presentations, they also had a video about
content and we played this 鈥渢wo truths, one lie鈥� type of game.
What organizations or activities are you involved with at 萝莉社?
I am in the African Caribbean Student Association and I want to join a few engineering
clubs. I was going to go to a basketball game sometime in January, but I missed it.
There鈥檚 also an eSports club that I want to join.
Where is your favorite spot to hang out on campus?
I like hanging out in the library on the top floor in the quiet zone.
Who is a faculty or staff member at 萝莉社 that has had a positive impact on you?
There鈥檚 someone who works at International Education, her name is Kristyn Smith.
She is really friendly and nice. Before I came here, there鈥檚 a Facebook group for
international students, so she made videos going around the colleges and showing us
around campus.
What鈥檚 your favorite part of campus life at 萝莉社?
I鈥檝e played pool twice and I also watched the Super Bowl at The Flats on Sunday.
I鈥檇 never watched the Super Bowl before. It didn't live up to the hype. It wasn't
as exciting as everyone said it would be. I thought it would be more than it was.
What are you currently reading or watching that you are enjoying?
I just finished 鈥淲estworld鈥� on HBO. It鈥檚 in the future and they make robots that
look human, act human, to know they鈥檙e not human you have to open them. They鈥檙e very
realistic. The people put them in a wild west world. Slowly, some of the robots become
sentient and start remembering the bad things humans have done to them. The show makes
you think about how in the future when we get to that point what are we going to do.
It鈥檚 fun and good acting.
Why did you choose to attend 萝莉社?
When I did my research, I saw that this was a good college for aerospace engineering
so I decided to come here. I want to get an internship here eventually.
