My experience coming here to
the summer program has been great
so far. I have met great people and
made new friends. We have treated
each other well and think that these
have been the warmest people I have
met in my life, they are all different
and I think that helps us to take that
aside and talk to each other with-
out any problems. Being here gives
me an opportunity to have an idea
of how college life may be like for
me. The classes are each different
and varied so you don’t have to sit
there thinking of the same classes
everyday like at school. The walks
between the classes are nice and the
ability to move around from place to
place can be tiring but they can be
fun. Being exposed to new people
and new surroundings has helped
me get out of my slightly shy shell
while I am usually am around new
things. We treat each other like we
already knew each other for some
time. - Angela
This is my second and final year re-
turning to the UTA UBMS summer
program. I was quite excite on the
thought of returning until I realized
the friends I hung out with the year
previously were no longer going to
be there. At that point I began to get
a bit nervous being that I wasn’t sure
if I were going to be able to adapt
and adjust to my new environment
as far as new students. Upon arriv-
al I got pretty bummed out with
the new RA’s and followed by the
switching of the dorms. Everything
felt weird and awkward, foreign if
anything. But at the end of the day I
came to the conclusion that I must
be able to adjust and be open-mind-
ed if I wanted to enjoy my last year.

My experience here at UTA so far is
pretty chill. It’s all pretty new to me
still, but I’ll get used to it eventually.
Honestly it doesn’t even feel like it’s
been only like 4 days. I’m not really
used to waking up early during the
summer, but I’m managing. My
roommate is pretty chill too. All of
the people here are so nice to me.

This is my first year attending the
program at UTA and I’ve enjoyed
it so far. I was able to get an experi-
ence many of my friends won’t and
that is staying in the dorm rooms
and living like a college student
at this age. I’ve also made a lot of
good friends in a short period of
time and that I’m grateful for. In the
process of making memories, I am
also learning and preparing for the
next school year that will come. This
program is giving so many oppor-
tunities in which I am grateful for
because they are helping prepare for
the future. In conclusion, my experi-
ence in this program has been great.
