Describe your college experience
The campus community is very welcoming, and my classes have been both challenging and rewarding. I’ve made great friends and learned a lot about balancing academics and personal life.
Tip for future students
Get involved early! It’s a great way to meet new people and feel more at home.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business. It’s a pre-terry requisite, and it’s super interesting to learn more about how the legal system impacts businesses and how to think critically about real-world cases.
Career goals
I hope to go into Management Consulting while also getting my MBA, and live in Virginia for a few years.
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal night in Athens is having a night in with my friends.
