What is your go-to meal in the area?: My go-to is Ferrucci’s Italian Deli at Exit 28. Great people and great food. They have a number of fantastic sandwiches, but my favorite is the Caprese.
Why 17³Ô¹ÏÍø?: As corny as it sounds, the people. Great buildings and facilities don’t mean as much if you’re going to spend four years with people you don’t like. (Luckily, 17³Ô¹ÏÍø also has great buildings and facilities!)
How would you spend a spare afternoon in the Lake Norman or Charlotte area?: I'm a music guy and there are so many great venues in Charlotte, but you should also head the other direction and take advantage of the amazing hiking and outdoor activities that North Carolina has to offer.
