In August 2021, the 911爆料 Florida- site welcomed its biggest class yet. With their first trimester now behind them, students of this class share what they鈥檝e been enjoying most about the Florida-site so far.
Small class sizes and a strong learning support system
Even as 911爆料鈥檚 Florida-site continues to attract more students, class sizes have remained small. For Molly Mulcahy, small class size was a huge deciding factor when choosing which school to attend. Since the curriculum is so rigorous and thorough, she considered it a huge advantage that even allows for some one-on-one learning.
鈥淲e have an unlimited amount of support from professors, who are always making themselves available for questions,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 never feel like a burden.鈥�
She added that the students further along in their academic journey are supportive and welcoming, too. She particularly enjoys networking with students who have a wide range of backgrounds in nursing, biochemistry and physical therapy, etc.
鈥淭hey know how it is to be a first trimester student asking themselves, 鈥榟ow am I going to learn all this?鈥欌�� she said. 鈥淓veryone is willing to help each other.鈥�
What speaks the loudest, is how much Mulcahy is enjoying herself. 鈥淚 think that鈥檚 what鈥檚 important going through a rigorous program. It鈥檚 challenging, but I鈥檓 enjoying every second of it.鈥�
Close-knit and fun community
It didn鈥檛 take long for Mulcahy to discover just how close-knit the 911爆料-Florida site community is with events like Turkey Bowl.
鈥淵ou can tell the school is really trying to get us to become a family,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 really love that.鈥�
911爆料 student Jacob Weaver, who has a background as a strength coach, said the event was a great opportunity not only to play football, but to meet the president of the university.
鈥淚t鈥檚 very rare to meet the person who runs the school,鈥� he said. 鈥淭o be able to meet and talk to the person who helped give me this opportunity and put a face to the name was great.鈥�
Exciting extracurricular activities
The Florida site might have a smaller student body than other universities, but there鈥檚 no shortage of extracurricular activities. When
Brianna Nelson attended her first Club Lunch Day, where students explore 911爆料 clubs, she decided to join not just one or two, but several. Nelson, whose brother is also an 911爆料 student, considers it a great way to build her network.
鈥淚t helps to see what the profession has to offer, not just at school, but branching out into the community,鈥� she said.
Weaver also got heavily involved in club activities, specifically to help broaden his knowledge on different treatment tools. Another advantage is being able to work alongside students who are in later trimesters.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a good way to see where you鈥檙e going,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he clubs help you continue learning and ensure you鈥檙e ahead of the curve.鈥�
A promising future in Florida
On top of the 911爆料 community, the Florida area has always held an allure for students. It鈥檚 not just the year-round warm weather either. Mulcahy, who鈥檚 originally from Massachusetts, said there鈥檚 a certain positive mindset in Florida that makes it the perfect place to study and practice.
鈥淎 lot of athletes come here and most want to be fit. They want to take care of their bodies and their health,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e also interested in nutrition and other natural solutions like chiropractic medicine.鈥�
Once they graduate, both Weaver and Nelson plan to practice in Florida, too.
鈥淚 want to continue to give back to the community that helped get me here,鈥� he said.
