I lived on campus for at least my first years in a dorm. This year I am in a modern dorm in a single with a common space connection four rooms. I also have a meal plan through the school, although this has great beaches and the food is delicious.

I loved the balance between academics and fun. I loved how collaborative friendly and happy it is. And I love the flexibility across schools. For example, I am majoring and double minoring across three of the five schools. I learned about this college through word of mouth in my town. It is always very popular among high scholars in my town and so many people talk about it and I was encouraged to apply.

Many students in our program live near campus. I am a 10-15 minute walk away and I live with another PT student. Many other PT students live in our apartment complex. We have a gated parking lot, a gym, and many other perks that graduate students enjoy.

WashU is a great school offering a program focused on Movement System Impairments, which is what I am interested in practicing as a clinician. It is also a top-ranked program and the city of St. Louis is very reasonable to live in.

It was the best value because I got a full scholarship/highest rank. Also when I visited I could imagine a high quality of life for myself due to the beautiful dorms and yummy food. It was big enough that I could meet new people every day if I wanted to but not big enough that I would feel lost.
