Advice for a new Freshman:

  • Join a club if your from out of state. Life-long friends! (Sarah, 2013-2017)
  • Be social; get to know people. (Aubrey, 2017)

Also, look for volunteer opportunities, they’ll add up and be useful in the future. There’s SO MUCH free stuff just because you’re a student, find those things (ask) and use them. Don’t spend money until you have to. (Grace, 2008-2016)

Share an experience you’ve had at U of U (interesting/funny/crazy/dangerous, etc.):

  • Went hiking in the middle of the night with some friends and had a blast. (Aubrey, 2017)
  • Had a drunk game night at the lab. (Abhishek, 2013-2015)
  • I had the most amazing professors at the U. They created opportunities for my specific talents. I enjoyed an amazing professional career from the connections I made at the U.

(Professors who influenced me greatly: Attila Ficzere, Sharee Lane, and Bene’ Arnold.) (Jennifer Hill Barlow, 1992-2003)
