I\u2019m Kate and I\u2019m in the graduate program for the History of Art and Architecture. I\u2019m from Tampa, Florida and I completed my undergrad degree at the University of South Florida.<\/p>\n<p><b>Why did you choose to come to BU for your graduate degree?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I chose BU GRS for my graduate degree because of the variety of fields of study offered here in the art history program. This made BU stand out to me because not very many schools have a wide range of options, and I wanted to be able to pursue topics I haven\u2019t had the chance to learn about before.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are your favorite spots on the BU Campus?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>My favorite spots on campus are the 808 Gallery, the Howard Thurman Center, and the College of Arts and Sciences building! I love how BU\u2019s campus has a variety of architectural styles, which I think perfectly captures the history of the school.<\/p>\n<p><b>What was your favorite part about attending BU and studying in the US?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>My favorite part about BU is definitely the people I\u2019ve met here so far. I moved to Boston not knowing anyone from here, but I have been able to get to know so many lovely people from both inside and outside the grad program.<\/p>\n<p><b>How is life in Boston?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Like I mentioned before, I\u2019m from Florida, so the change in weather has been really enjoyable for me so far- I can\u2019t say I miss the heat and humidity too much. I\u2019m hoping I won\u2019t regret saying that when winter comes along, because I\u2019ve never had to deal with snow before. Besides that, I really love living in Boston because there\u2019s so many things to do!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you hope to do after you graduate?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After I graduate, I want to continue to pursue a career in curation. I love doing research in art history and the process of designing exhibits, so I think I would really enjoy working in a museum setting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>About The Author:<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cas\/files\/2025\/11\/Untitled-design-2-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-87227 size-thumbnail\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cas\/files\/2025\/11\/Untitled-design-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cas\/files\/2025\/11\/Untitled-design-2-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Arianna Williams<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Media Assistant, GRS<\/p>\n<p>Master of Science, Journalism<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Kate Tumlin, a Tampa native studying History of Art &amp; Architecture.
