Nerd In The Hall
How Geeky Are You?
For The Link’s first-ever Nerd Special Issue we decided to take to the halls of Concordia and find out what how nerdy ConU students actually are. We asked students what the nerdiest thing about them was. Here’s what they said.

“I can just stay in front of my computer instead of sleeping and eating. It doesn’t have to be computer games. Sometimes movies, news, even YouTube or Facebook.”
—Mike Pham,
BA Computer Science

“My Bachelor’s—that’s the nerdiest thing about me. I’m [also] a big fan of computer games—and I’m the only girl in Engineering.”

“I’m a huge comic book fan. I collect graphic novels—I guess that would be the geekiest thing about me. I’m [also] a huge movie freak. I like Tarantino stuff, Pulp Fiction and all of that, but I don’t know if that would be nerdy or just an interest.”
—Andy Metivier,
BA Commerce and Accounting

“I guess I’m a bookworm nerd. I love reading. I would even pick reading over TV.”
—Jo-Anne Gagnon,
BA Education
