D’Youville College Top Questions

My college experience has given me so much from public speaking skills to learning how to speed read, but what has been the most benefit to me, is the ability to multitask. I'm currently a student, an employee, and a mother, so, in order to earn my degree while still performing my other roles in life, I had to gain this essential skill, which has benefited me in more ways than I could ever imagine.

I have truly found myself while going through college. At the beggining of my start to college, I was a corput kid who knew nothing about "real life" and I had no idea what I was going to be or do with my life. Through multiple classes and an educational abroad program to Europe, I can now say I honestly know what I am going to do with my life. I found out who I was and who I wasn't through this. College has put me on the right track in life and I have never be so grateful for the opprotunity of education.

I have always been interested in learning, something you should do every single day, but this was my chance at something special, something I could do for myself and something no one can ever take away from me. I would have to say that to me, this is the chance of a lifetime. I always intended to go back, but not once in the last 13 years, did I ever have that chance and now..here it is!

I attended Le Moyne College for two years then decided to transfer to D'Youville College for the remainder of my college education. I really enjoyed Le Moyne I met some wonderful people there that I am sure will be lifelong friends. It was difficult to leave because I had really enjoyed life there but in terms of my education I felt that D'Youville was a better fit for me. I decided to attend DYC because of their renowned Physician Assistant program. At Le Moyne I was studying biology with a pre-health concentration but I didn't feel that I was taking courses that were in touch with what I truly wanted to do. At D'Youville I feel that I am involved in classes that will insure I will become a well rounded Physician Assistant. At first it was hard to adjust to life at a new school but its small and welcoming campus instantly comforted me and allowed me to meet fellow students fairly quickly.

It has opened up doors for me that hopefully will help me achive the American Dream.

The most important thing I have gotten out of D’Youville College is the nursing education I’ve obtained thus far.
