Describe your college experience

The transition from homeschooling to UGA was a lot smoother than I expected it to be. I expected the school to feel a lot bigger and more impersonal, but that is certainly not the experience I have had.

Tip for future students

I would say my biggest tip would be to make sure that you know how to take notes and study in the way that is best for you, as you can't really get through these classes without those things.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been either Physics 1 or Calculus 3. The professors for those classes did a lot to make the material understandable and did their best to help people when they were stuck.

Career goals

My dream job after college is working as an aeronautical engineer, either working on planes or smaller flight systems.

Ideal way to spend a free night

If I could spend a free night any way, it would be watching a movie with my fiancée or getting dinner with my friends
