Spartan Guides Up Close
Pat O.
Major: History (Social Studies)
Graduation Year: 2011
Hometown: Advance, NC
My personal motto is: "You get out what you put in."
My goals are: To graduate in four years with my degree in History Education.
I selected UNCG because: Academic programs and great location.
My best UNCG moment: Joining the Track & Field team my freshman year.
My biggest surprise at UNCG: Making an "A" in Dr. Mazgai's History 348 class.
My favorite place on campus: Yum-Yums, greatest hot dog on the planet, period.
On the weekends: I relax.
My favorite class: History 348/349 with Dr. Mazgai. Dr. Mazgai's teaching style really suits my style of learning and the material in these courses was really interesting.
I am involved in: Spartan Track & Field
My favorite food on campus: Yum-Yums hot dogs
Favorite thing to do in Greensboro: Attend Greensboro Grasshoppers baseball games downtown
If I could have a superpower, it would be: Super-speed
My one piece of advice for prospective students is: Whatever university you choose to attend, make sure your decision is based on a solid mixture of academics and personal taste. I've seen a lot of friends go to schools for reasons they thought were good at the time and have since transferred and really messed up their academic standing.
