Earning both my bachelor’s and master’s at NSU was the best decision I could’ve made. I always felt supported, challenged, and encouraged to step outside my comfort zone. My professors truly cared about my success and pushed me to reach my potential, while the campus community gave me opportunities to lead, connect, and grow. I walked away with two degrees, real experience, and the confidence to succeed in my career.
The faculty really cared about me and my goals, and that made all the difference. I knew I wasn’t just another student. That’s a big part of why I stayed for my master’s. I always had someone I could go to for advice or encouragement, and those relationships helped me step up my skills and confidence. Grad school at NSU pushed me further than I thought I could go, and I’m grateful for the support that got me here.
I was drawn to NSULA’s program because it offered a wide range of composition courses, and I wanted a holistic experience. I absolutely received that, but what truly sold the experience for me were my instructors. Each of my instructors was engaging, supportive, and an expert in their discipline who created some of the most rewarding online courses I have ever taken.
NSU gave me the freedom to explore. I was able to try different majors, join new clubs, and get involved in events that pushed me to grow. Through those experiences, I discovered my strengths, learned where I could improve, and uncovered the passions that ultimately led me to the right career path.
