WE ASKED A WILDCAT
WHAT SURPRISED YOU ABOUT UK? “Everyone is really supportive and you always receive smiles any time you step onto campus. Adjusting to college was a struggle for me, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, UK’s tightly knit community helped me overcome any fears I had. You can go up to someone random and they would become friends with you, UK is just that welcoming.” SHANNON NGUYEN ’24
