Some things that might not be evident from an outside view are that at [UAT](https://www.uat.edu/) if you are truly searching for a family you will find one. We all come from different walks of life and it can be intimidating. I personally come from a tech background but I am not 100% into all the exact same things as some of the primary demographic. For instance, I am not super well versed in popular culture which is something I have come to learn many students have knowledge about.

 

                                                       

 

Coming to [UAT](https://www.uat.edu/) was a scary experience, just like leaving for any new unfamiliar environment but over time I found there were many individuals who I found I get along with. Not to mention I do not just interact on a daily basis with the [students](https://www.uat.edu/parent-insights) but the [faculty](https://www.uat.edu/faculty-at-university-of-advancing-technology) as well. I would say I interact with [faculty](https://www.uat.edu/faculty-at-university-of-advancing-technology) and [staff](https://www.uat.edu/featured-technology-university-staff) of UAT just as much as my fellow peers. I also see many individuals from different walks of life that I would not have most likely interacted with otherwise but have become close friends with. At UAT we are not just a community of students but a family of individuals interested in pursuing [technology](https://www.uat.edu/advancing-technology-degrees).
