"What I've loved about being in such a small classroom
is that we've been able to bond really well as a
class. As students, we help each other study for
tests and work through the homework together, and feel
comfortable enough to interact with the professor in
and out of the classroom. Because of this, I know
that not only will I be able to turn to this professor
for recommendations, but that I'll probably keep in
contact and come back to visit him in ten years."

| "Participating in the University College program was one of our best decisions as incoming freshmen. Not only did we get the opportunity to learn through first hand experience with a recognized professional in the field, but we got to share these experiences with each other. One of the most comforting things was to have that community the second you stepped on campus. We still are friends with the people in our program and were lucky enough to build life-long friendships through it. Take us for example: we met the first week of school and have been inseparable ever since!"

"When it came time to write big papers and take midterms and finals, there was always a reliable study group that I could work with, which took a lot of the stress off of doing these things for the first time in college."

"The close interaction with the faculty and the living-learning community within the residence halls will enhance your academic and social experience as a new student. UC is a great way to get to know your new home: classmates, professors, AU, and the city overall."

"The best thing about University College was living together with all of my classmates and forming strong bonds with them through various class activities. The UC provided an ultimate living and learning experience that enabled me and my friends to go through the transition process together. The sense of community in the UC became my back-up and with back-up you know that you can never fail—help was always there when I needed it."
