"The worst feeling in the world is the regret of not having done something. Better take that chance and fail miserably, than never try at all."

I literally spent four years of my life at AUA, including weekends, public holidays and summer vacations. I probably spent more time inside or near those two buildings than at home during those years. It was fun, it was useful and it was definitely the best time of my life. I think the best thing about AUA was the freedom we had both in terms of the classes we could choose and in terms of the extra-curricular activities we could pursue.

My education at AUA gave me a broad understanding of everything in the business/economics/finance world, and it served as a perfect trampoline for my professional career, as well as the master's degree I obtained from KU Leuven, Belgium. AUA alumni stand out in any organization, anywhere in the world, and that is mostly due to the high quality fundamental education that we receive here, which gives us the potential to excel in any relevant field.

Word of advice
Get involved in as many fun projects and initiatives as you can. Organize events, meet new people, become a student council member, go to parties. Don't waste a single day of your college life, you'll have rest when you're 70.
