Meet Linda:

  • Factors you considered when deciding that CUC was the best college fit for you? 
    • Location: I knew I wanted a school close to home because I enjoy home-cooked meals and because I love adventures in the city of Chicago. CUC's location offered both!
    • Field Experience: I wanted a school that made me a stronger candidate after graduation. At CUC I was given the tools to create a network along with the hands-on experience to reinforce my degree.
    • Campus Environment: I wanted a school where I could enjoy learning and continue to grow as a person. The welcoming and caring environment and community at CUC really made it a college experience that I will always cherish. 
  • Favorite season and why? My favorite season is fall because it means PSL—actually pumpkin flavored everything! Also because it is filled with beautiful nature scenery, scarves, haunted houses, and it means the Christmas season is approaching! 
  • Sports teams you cheer for? I root for the World Series champion Chicago Cubs and the Bulls!
  • International dream destination? I enjoy traveling, and I would love to visit Spain and Argentina specifically. The rest of Latin America would also be fun to explore. 
  • Name three of your favorite movies: I love movies, but my top three favorites are "Home Alone," "Julie & Julia" and "The Last Song."
  • Name one thing on your bucket list: Swim with dolphins! Dolphins are my favorite animal.
