“I did my research on Life University and realized that it is number one ranked in rugby, and I thought it would be great for me, so I applied. And now, I’m here at Life U pursuing two bachelor’s degrees – Business Administration and Computer Information Management.”
“I’ve always been interested in finance, accounting, the economy and how money works, so I decided that business administration and computer technology were my best options to go into the corporate world. I’m very interested in technology and think that Silicon Valley would be a great place to work, or maybe become a stock broker and go into trading.”
