Hi, my name is Charlotte, and I have just finished my first semester at the University of Alabama! I've been loving it here with the classes I take, and the activities they offer. I hope to make you feel the same here at bama!

Describe your college experience

It was a great feeling to gain more freedom and having a sense of being on my own. I've learned to express myself more when meeting new people and getting out of my comfort zone. It's almost crazy what only one semester can offer.

Tip for future students

It's good to remember this school has over 40,000 students so it was definitely a transition from high school. It's harder to make a name for yourself so I would encourage to join clubs here!

Favorite class

I really enjoyed my women studies class. If you're a proud feminist then I would very much recommend! It's one of the highest electives people take so obviously it's interesting. It may give you a different perspective on some topics, and not to mention it is an easy A.

Career goals

I always thought for the past few years I wanted to be a real estate agent. Once getting here I don't know exactly what I want to do in the future. I'll always have a soft spot for anything marketing or sale work, so I assume that's where I will end up!

Ideal way to spend a free night

Sometimes I'll go out to the strip or frat houses, but most free nights I spend them in with my roommate​/​best friend. I'm more of a small group type of person so I cherish the times with my close friends way more than going out and about.
