NSU Experience
The biology program at NSU helped prepare me for medical school and provided a great foundation for continued education in the sciences. I loved the smaller class sizes and ability to interact with the professors. The professors get to know you better when the classes are smaller, which helps with recommendation letters for graduate school and makes it easier to ask questions during lecture or during office hours. I loved being involved in many extracurricular activities and taking leadership roles to help broaden my education and college experience. Take advantage of all the clubs and organizations on campus and really get involved. That no only helps for graduate school admission, but gives you amazing life experiences and great friends in the process.
