"It's a privilege to live around other like-minded students for your first year...taking the same section classes right there with you. The professional development is also key as a first-year student! You will have a leg up in networking nights, career fairs, and C-Suite guests when you've been learning about professionalism downstairs from your dorm!" - Isabella Z., Sophomore Financial Management and Accounting Major

Two students engaged in a discussion while working on a laptop in a classroom setting.

"I enjoyed CUBS because of the many academic benefits it provided, but most of all, I loved CUBS because it brought me some of my closest friends. I would encourage all incoming first-year students looking to study business to join CUBS. There are so many benefits, and it provides such a unique experience that can't be found anywhere else." - Esai M., Junior Management Major

"Joining CUBS was one of the best things that I did freshman year. I enjoyed living around my classmates and being able to hang out with them outside of class, as well as being able to ask them for help when I needed it. Signing up for CUBS is beneficial because, for some of our core classes, we have a smaller classroom setting and can get help from our teachers; joining CUBS is also helpful because we have many beneficial workshops that help now and will in the future." - Madison W., Junior Marketing Major
