Why I love UD: UD has done more for me throughout my college career than I can reciprocate in a lifetime. The University of Dallas has broadened my horizons in ways I never thought imaginable. Because we study the core so deeply, we learned to indulge in great books and classic thought; because at UD our spiritual side was lived, it was strengthened. Here, I was able to go beyond my own intellectual and spiritual growth and share it with others - the years I spent and the friendships I formed at the University of Dallas will always be among the best and most memorable. Since I was able to travel and see the world with my best friends during my Rome semester, I was exposed to whole new understandings of life; because of UD I realized that I loved travel and everything it entails: cultures, languages, people, and adventures. That new revelation plus everything else I gained at UD had redirected my life in a whole new direction I never dreamed it would take! Why do I love UD? It transformed me into the best person I could be by nourishing my intellect, spirituality, friendships, and ambitions.
