Before I came to UNOH, I knew almost nothing about cars. After one year here, I have already had a full-time job offer with an ARCA series race team when I graduate. I've now been here for a year and a half, and am starting my second full season working with Andy Belmont Racing through the school's Race Club program.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
For us students that are an intern on an ARCA team, we are allowed to miss class days to travel to races. It doesn't get any better than that - we travel the country, race on live TV, and get excused from class to do so. Also, we only have class FOUR days a week to begin with!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For the ARCA team members, we have a car that we practice pit stops on. The school pays for our equipment when something breaks. And like I said before, we only have class four days a week. You also only have one class at a time so you aren't trying to keep up on homework for several different classes - you only have one to worry about.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't live in the dorms. Get an off-campus apartment. It's cheaper and the dorms have ridiculous rules.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for someone that is independent. If you love cars, race cars, or diesel, this is the place for you.
