 I first heard about UA when I actually went to a recruiting event in Chicago. When I went there they had great things to say and I decided that I wanted to come to campus for a visit and that's how I decided on the University of Alabama. I think my favorite part about the campus visit was when they talked about all the rich traditions and history. That's something I really wanted, you know, coming from a really small high school. We didn't have a ton of traditions and so coming to a university that's been here, it's been established and the campus is just beyond beautiful. I chose to come to the University of Alabama because I felt like it was my home away from home. As an out-of-state student I felt that the university had the best sense of home environment, made me feel like I was welcome in addition to the CREPAS, the MBA program, which combined with my undergrad degree would allow me the most flexibility and career choice. I've loved being involved on campus. For me, Greek life was a way to make connections on campus. I wanted to immediately feel like I was a part of campus and I had activities to go to. It was a great way for me to make friends and just become more involved on campus and with service events. When I went to Chicago for a recruiting event, I immediately felt like UA was the place for me. So after that event, I obviously went to campus and did a tour and felt even more in love with the campus, but the Chicago Recruiting Event was when I realized that, you know, this campus is real. It's not like a normal college where, you know, they think that you can add something to their environment. UA truly wants you here and they want what you bring to the table.
