The University of Tampa
Why I chose the University of Tampa?
My college journey began with a passion for forensic science, which initially led me to the University of Tampa. During my campus tour, I instantly fell in love with UTampa and committed with a forensic science major. However, during my first week, I discovered the College of Business, and it completely captivated me. This unexpected shift ignited a new passion, and I quickly transitioned to studying business—a decision that has turned out to be one of the best choices I have made for myself. Throughout my academic journey, I have remained dedicated to excellence, consistently demonstrating a strong work ethic and a commitment to achieving high grades. Additionally, I decided to pursue a minor in exercise science & sports study since I have a passion for sports and exercise.
