Thien Nguyen
How do you identify? I am Vietnamese American born in Indonesia
Major: I am a dual major in Computer Science and Cognitive Psychology
Year: After this summer it will be my fourth year at Northeastern
Hometown: I’ve spent a large part of my life in Worcester, Massachusetts
Hobbies/favorite foods: There are so many different kinds of foods out there. I’ve made it an effort to try more. My favorite food is definitely any kind of rice bowl from Teriyaki House in Boston. I also like steak dinners, that addiction has caused me a lot of problems in the last couple of months. I have a lot of weird hobbies. I like to do anything that has to do with cards. Sometimes I just randomly shuffle cards because I love the feel. Reading and watching movies are one of the things I wished I could do more once I get more free time.
Previous Co-op experiences: I worked at State Street Global Advisors in the fall of 2010 as a Unix/Storage intern.
Random fact: You will never meet a bigger loser than me. I really like Twilight, The Notebook, The Time Traveler’s Wife, khaki pants, accents, Hebrew, The Lord of the Rings, Spongebob Squarepants, didgeridoos, and I get amazed really easily.

Hobbies/favorite foods: There is no such thing as a favorite food, I love all food! Hobbies include eating, reading, sleeping, fb stalking, and noobie longboarding. I also picked up bikram yoga this summer, so intense!
Study abroad: I want to! Planning on going on a dialogue to Greece next summer.
Previous Co-op experiences: I'm pre-dental, so I've been shadowing my dentist all summer.
Random fact: By the end of this year, you will all learn how to tie shoes like me.
