"When I began my college search, I thought I wanted to attend a small university where I would be able to develop close, personal relationships with my peers and professors. I did not realize that this was possible at a flagship university until I visited UK. Here, I am able to be a part of a small community within my major while still being a part of the legacy that comes with being a Wildcat."
