Umer Farooq

Pronouns: He/Him

Hi! My name is Umer Farooq, and I’m a third-year Computer Science student at RIT. During the summer of 2026, I completed a 15-credit Business Administration minor at RIT Croatia in Zagreb. Living and studying in Croatia gave me the opportunity to experience a new culture, meet people from different backgrounds, travel, and become more independent. It also gave me a valuable international and business perspective to complement my Computer Science education. I’m happy to share my experience at RIT Croatia and help students considering studying abroad, whether they have questions about choosing a program, adjusting to a new culture, traveling, or making the most of an international experience. Outside of academics, I enjoy photography, reading, fitness, and exploring new places!
