Winter Weekend is when I really got a feel for the student life on campus. I saw the vibrant personality of the student body and immediately felt at home. I was randomly assigned to stay the night at the Tri Delta house, and I loved it so much that I became a member there a year later. Winter Weekend is when I realized that Brenau is where I belonged.Ariana Long
Attending Winter Weekend helped me see what the culture is and what it would really be like attending Brenau. Getting the inside experience solidified my decision to come to Brenau, and I learned so much more about the school. I met some amazing people that really wanted to get to know me, and I am still friends with them!Sarah Nolan
Attending Winter Weekend was a pivotal experience that ultimately helped me make my decision to attend Brenau. Interacting with college students is a great opportunity to see how you can fit in the atmosphere here at Brenau, and see if this is a place you can thrive in. If you’re a potential student, I highly recommend attending Winter Weekend and fully embracing the Golden Tiger experience!Payton Hicks
