“When I first toured Charlotte, I knew I should have just come here to begin with. It had a very welcoming and homey vibe. With all of the professors I’ve interacted with, there was a connection. When I transferred here, I was undeclared. So I was in the University College and didn’t really know what I wanted to major in. But connecting with my professor really made me
feel like Communication Studies is where I want to be. It’s a very broad major; I feel like you can do almost anything with it.”
there’s a ton of fun things to do in Charlotte!

“I met my closest friends during my second semester, just from interacting during class. I also met people by being in the Honors College and getting involved, and I got really close with them by going to events together. My biggest advice is talking to people, but I know not everyone is as extroverted as I am. have to be a student organization. It can even be a hobby you have. it on campus, it’s an easy way to meet people and develop deeper relationships as time goes on just through that interest or hobby or organization.”
