-: I chose to come to college
at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln mainly
because of the ag program.
I knew the classes that I would take here
would apply to agriculture in Nebraska
and that's my main goal, to be close to home
and have a job where I can make an impact
on an industry that is such a big part of Nebraska.
I was a transfer student so my second year of college,
I had to sign up for classes here,
transferring from a community college.
All the teachers knew where I was coming from,
had had students like me already,
my advisor made sure I was in the right classes
to get those done.
Student support at UNL is absolutely fantastic.
When I came here, I'm a pretty quiet person
so getting involved was the biggest thing, I think.
The kids and the faculty that run the Agronomy Club
were extremely welcoming and, within the first couple weeks,
I joined the Crops Judging team
and it really allowed me to get a good foothold on campus,
feel pretty comfortable.
And, now, I feel like I can walk around
and it's like a small town.
You know everybody, anybody's there to help you study
for a test, you get waves as you're driving by,
it's one of the best places I've ever been.
