Uptown Girl
Mass Communications Major
Interactive Media Studies Minor
Kat Howland is a busy person. She’s majoring in mass communications and minoring in interactive media studies. She competes on Miami’s club synchronized skating team. And she also runs her own radio show, The Candy Shop, on Miami’s WMFR radio station. But somehow, Kat still has plenty of time to explore the town of Oxford.
As a senior, Kat lives off campus in Uptown Oxford. She loves all the unique off-campus houses, but particularly the big, bright, orange one she calls home. Each house has a personality and a name—be it Orange Crush, Cornered In, or Krazy Eights—and it’s all part of what makes Miami unique.
Uptown also has shopping, coffee shops, and restaurants aplenty. And as a part-time DJ and a full-time music lover, Kat visits Uptown establishments often to see the many musical artists who come to play in Oxford.
