-: Well, I am a diehard UFM.
I actually lived in Madison, Wisconsin until 2004,
when I came up here.
And my parents are hardcore Badger fans.
I came over here and I bleed maroon and gold,
so season ticket holder for football,
attend a lot of basketball games.
I love the atmosphere here.
I love all of the social connections I've built.
I still talk to my freshman year roommates.
Probably 10 people on my floor,
we're still really close to each other,
and that's the most important part,
just having a good, supportive, fun lifelong environment.
I look at where I came out of high school
and what I was doing at that point,
and I came out of high school thinking
I was gonna be a chemical engineer.
Like, I was all gung ho and once I came here and realized,
no, I really need to be doing social.
It was really an aspect of finding yourself
and really, the U and the generalized courses,
as well as specific courses,
were very, very leading to that moment.
