University of Georgia
I am currently a sophomore here at UGA in the Tull School of Accounting.
I am originally from Fort Worth, Texas, so I know the stress that can come with the college selection process, especially for out of state students. I am involved in various student organizations within Terry and have landed some special opportunities through UGA's resources, so I can provide firsthand experience regarding student resources that UGA offers!

Describe your college experience
I have been able to meet so many wonderful people from all over the country and world. I have also had so much fun at various UGA events including athletics, welcome events, and so much more. I have also loved living in Athens. There is always something fun going on downtown ranging from parades and farmer's markets to live music in the streets.
Tip for future students
Be outgoing in your first weeks here, even if your nervous or introverted. Everyone is so nice and excited to meet new people. I ended up meeting my current roommates in my first week of school freshman year, and they have been amazing. Be ready to manage your time efficiently. You will have so much time and will want to get involved with so many things, and it will be easy to lose track of everything you are doing. Obviously, go to class.
Favorite class

Career goals
I want to work in the audit and assurance field, preferably at one of the Big 4 firms. I plan to get my master's in accountancy here at UGA and get my CPA while I am finishing my degree.
Ideal way to spend a free night
If it is warm enough, I would spend my free night hanging out on the roof of my apartment building by the pool with my friends, or going to a UGA sports event if there is one.
