"The donations you make to support student scholarships are important and do truthfully help students."

What do you like most about SNHU?

I like having to option of taking online classes and working at my own pace.

How do the scholarships and financial aid you receive make it possible for you to attend SNHU? Specifically, how have scholarships made a difference?

The scholarship has taken the burden away of paying for the books I need for school.

What would you say to those who donate to support student scholarships?

The donations you make to support student scholarships are important and do truthfully help students.

Why did you choose Southern New Hampshire University?

I liked that SNHU offered online programs, which I've always preferred.

What was your hope in receiving a college education? How has your experience been different than what you've imagined?

My hope in receiving a college education was that career opportunities would open up and help me get into the field of psychology, which I'm passionate about. The college experience has been a little different than what I imagined — I was surprised on how smoothly it has been going.

What inspired you to choose your area of study? What is your dream job?

I've always been drawn to psychology, especially to the field of mental health. I'm passionate about providing resources to my community. My dream job would be a mental health counselor or a LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist).

What do you find most challenging? How do you deal with this?

I find it challenging to not get in my head too much. I always think that because I'm 22 that I'm behind on getting my degree, but this is not the case. Everyone works at their own speed and there is no age limit to education.

In what ways do you want/hope to stay involved as an SNHU graduate?

I hope to stay involved as an alumna, so I can inform other students who are trying to pick a college that SNHU is a really great choice. SNHU offers a wide range of programs and they are committed to helping others further their education.
