Why did you choose UGA? I chose UGA initially due to the in-state tuition and college town aspect but was hesitant on the engineering program. After a few months spent on campus, I absolutely fell in love with the collaborative community rather than a typical competitive program. The culture, campus, opportunity, and friendships have been an absolute blessing since arriving!
Favorite Memory as a Bulldog Engineer? My favorite memory as a Bulldog Engineer was meeting my first true engineering friend in Yoder’s class, and studying for statics together after forming our friendship. This was such a small memory in my time at UGA, but such a HUGE factor in finding my place at the College of Engineering. We have carried this friendship from that time into joining Theta Tau together and countless late nights in the back of Driftmier.
