Nick is a senior and a member of the fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon.  He says his friends are what made his University of Minnesota experience amazing. 

“There are many moments of joy I can note while at the U, but above all is spending time with the friends I made in college. Whether it be spending time together over the weekend, or 

traveling the world over spring break, we always manage to make the most fun out of nowhere. 

For our final spring break, my friends and I went to Israel and Palestine together on a student group trip and it was an amazing time to learn and explore. Throughout the trip, we traveled the country, tasting numerous cuisines, visiting numerous museums and historical sites, and experiencing the local culture and nightlife. 

Being able to explore the world with my college friends was an amazing experience that I will never forget.”
