The opportunity of being a DJ at KTRU was the major deciding factor in my attending Rice.  I had a full scholarship at the Cooper Union in NYC, and also a full scholarship at Rutgers in New Jersey.  I decided to pay to attend Rice because of my desire to be a college DJ.

People are often surprised when they find out I was a DJ because I am very reserved, but for me it was about the music.  At KTRU I was exposed to (and I exposed the Houston area to) new genres of music and music from different cultures.  I often had the 7-9 am shift, and I had commuters call me to thank me for making their commute better.
