Describe your experience at CALS

Last year was very busy and chaotic because it was my freshman year. However, there was always someone willing to answer my questions and help me out. I am enjoying myself thoroughly now. Although I have a lot more on my schedule and taking harder classes, I have learned to balance everything.

Advice to a prospective student looking at CALS

Take advantage of all the resources. If you are interested in a class or a program speak to the professor or advisor involved. They know the most about their areas and are more than happy to talk to you about it.

Activities

Hands-on Experience

Over this summer, I took a course called Ecology of Animal Behavior at Shoals Marine Lab. I had the best time ever. I met so many great people and experienced things that I would never find anywhere else.
