I had the opportunity to do two types of unique research. One was cardiology-based research on a mouse model in a lab setting. The other was conducting field research in Costa Rica on my own research proposal.

When I took my tour, I was drawn in by the small class sizes and the ability to easily get my questions answered.

Being able to try something new every year and getting some of my best friends out of it! I’m now living in a Main Street house with all of these people which I am looking forward to!
