“Being able to sit down with professors one on one and discuss topics that were difficult was one of the best things for me. I remember sitting down with my immunology professor, Dr. Joe Dolence, for hours just talking about how the immune system works. He welcomed that and he loved that. The same could be said for a lot of my professors at bet36365体育. Having that one-on-one attention and professors who are truly invested in your education really helped prepare me for professional school.”
