Describe your college experience

I've had a great time so far at The University of Alabama. I explored the campus during my first week here and made many new friends. When we had our Get on Board Day, when the clubs on campus set up recruitment tables, I found what groups I wanted to be a part of. This is where I found the Men's Crew Team that I joined and have enjoyed my entire time on campus. The classes here are also very enjoyable and most, if not all, of the professors here are very engaged and want all of their students to succeed and thrive.

Tip for future students

One huge tip I would give new students here is to attend every class. Many classes make attendance mandatory and tie it to your final grade. Even if attendance isn't mandatory for a class, it is always beneficial for your grades to go to class and learn the content from the professor.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far is German 102. It has a small class size, so I've gotten to know everyone well, and my professor is lively and personable. I always look forward to attending that class on the days I have it.

Career goals

After college, I plan to attend a pharmacy school to get my Doctorate in Pharmacy. After that, I intend to work in either hospital pharmacies or conduct pharmaceutical research.

Ideal way to spend a free night

On a free night, I like to hang out with friends at one of our apartments and head to the main strip to grab food and meet new people.
