Why UE? “I come from a small high school and was looking for a small college campus not more than a few hours from home. I was very impressed with the staff and students I met on my visit to UE. I attended a volleyball game and really liked the spirit the students showed for the team. The girls on the volleyball team as well as the coaches made me feel comfortable with my decision to attend UE.”
