Reasons for Choosing BGSU and the Major: Why NOT BGSU? BGSU is the college that makes you feel like you’re welcomed anywhere by anyone. Communications is a major that gets made fun of but a lot of people don’t realize how important communications is as it helps us get our message across and share ideas that can help better the community.

I am a transfer student from the University of North Florida, so coming to Bowling Green was a huge change for the better!

Reasons for Choosing BGSU and the Major: I originally chose BGSU for the business program(s), as I was interested in Marketing. I changed to advertising my sophomore year (2nd year), as that was what I was interested in within the marketing “umbrella”. I wanted to get a better understanding about consumer behavior (I know that is not all advertising is about, but it’s still something I am strongly interested in). BGSU was very welcoming and offered many programs that allowed me to get on the path I am now with my major and future career.
