Â鶹ɫ²¥

Why did you choose Â鶹ɫ²¥?

I chose Â鶹ɫ²¥ for a few reasons. The first is for their highly reputed Physical Therapy program. While there are other universities in Western New York that offer PT programs, the close dynamic between the students and the professors ensures that I am a valued student and not just a statistic on an exam. Secondly, the Â鶹ɫ²¥ community is so friendly and welcoming, and I immediately fell in love with the camaraderie on campus.

Why did you choose your present major?

I chose to pursue a career in Physical Therapy my senior year in high school. When I was in middle school, I suffered a concussion and had to go to PT, and I became fascinated with the rehabilitation method to heal my injury. I was also a member of a program called Unified Sports, whereby I played sports alongside students with disabilities, I loved seeing the students with disabilities overcome challenges that people thought were difficult to achieve.

Please describe your academic experience at Â鶹ɫ²¥.

I am always up for a good challenge, and the Â鶹ɫ²¥ PT program definitely lives up to my expectations! While the workload certainly piles up, I am always curious about the content, which keeps me motivated to learn more. I am certain that the Â鶹ɫ²¥ curriculum prepares me well for my professional career.

What do you like best about Â鶹ɫ²¥?

My favorite thing about Â鶹ɫ²¥ is that the faculty values all of their students to succeeding in their goals. In high school, I believed that professors would not care about their students, but the small population size at Â鶹ɫ²¥ enables professors to engage with all of their students, which I think has been an essential part in my achievements thus far in my academic career.
