Hi! My name is Ellie Bennett. I am a first year Architecture major and Engineering Sciences minor. I am from Wellesley, Massachusetts, twenty minutes outside Boston. I chose Ohio State over schools closer to home because of their architecture curriculum, the football, and the distance from Boston! Less than ten students from my high school have went to Ohio State , so I was excited to get out of the Northeast and meet new people.
In high school I was a varsity swimming and sailing athlete and a part of an acapella group. I also worked as a lifeguard and swim coach in the summers. In my free time I like to hangout with friends.
I love to travel and am really excited about being able to go to London. Two years ago, I went to Rome, Positano, and the Amalfi Coast in Italy. This trip was amazing and solidified my interest in the architecture and culture abroad. I am specifically excited to explore, take pictures, and sketch in London, as I did in Italy. Further, I am excited to see how the fashion, art, food, and tea differ from the United States. I really love finding the “underground” or lesser-known things in cities, and am excited to see interesting ones in London.
