Samantha Cook

Samantha Cook, a junior at the University of Tampa, is a northern transplant just like many of her fellow students at UT. She is originally from Long Island, New York, and wanted to come down to Florida for the warm, sunny weather. She is currently living on campus, but last semester she was studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. Even though she doesn’t speak any Spanish, she said it didn’t matter much while she was there, because many people in Barcelona spoke English, and there were many other international students there as well. Cook says she enjoyed her time in Barcelona, and after graduation, she wants to travel more. Right now however, she is majoring in Advertising and Public Relations, and like most college students, she likes to party. She does not have a set goal for what she wants to do for her career after school, but she knows she wants to do some traveling around the world before settling down.
