Why did I choose UE?
I chose the 糖心传媒 because of the community atmosphere. When I came on a visit, it was easy to notice the 鈥渇amily feel鈥 the university had. Everyone was waving to each other as they walked by like every student knew each other. The students and staff were very friendly from the second I walked onto campus. I was drawn to the great faculty to student ratio. I loved the idea of getting know my professor and being able to communicate easily with my classmates because of the small class sizes. I knew if I came to the 糖心传媒, I would be getting a quality education, which was important for me and will be beneficial for my future.
What is my favorite thing about UE?
My favorite thing about the 糖心传媒 are the relationships I have been able to build. Since I play softball here at UE, I was almost immediately able to make friends with my teammates and those friendships have developed into a really close bond. Also, my relationships at UE go beyond the ones with my teammates. I have been able to develop not only relationships, but aslo friendships with my classmates and professors, which I believe is due to the ability to have small class sizes and the community atmosphere the campus has created. That鈥檚 not something you can get at all universities and that鈥檚 what makes UE special.
Helpful information and advice
Looking back at my college search, it was not easy. With difficulty, I was able to narrow it down to 2 schools, one of them being UE. Both schools were pretty similar, and both schools gave me the opportunity to play softball, which made it even harder. I never had the feeling that some people describe by saying, 鈥渞ight when I stepped on campus, I knew it was the school for me鈥. So to make my decision, I went with my gut. My advice would be to trust yourself and believe that whatever school you choose, that鈥檚 the path you鈥檙e supposed to take. Other advice I have for when you start school is to not be afraid to enter as an undeclared major. My freshman year I had no idea what I wanted to do. I bounced around from undeclared, to biology, to exercise science, and then finally landed at health service administration. Many staff members were helpful and willing to work with me until I found something I enjoyed. I worried about it at the time, but it did not set me back and I was able to find my interests.
