What will you major in/study?: Health Sciences (Physical Therapy)
Why did you choose this school?: I chose Merrimack because it checked off all the boxes I wanted in a school. I wanted a school that was close to home, small in size, and had my major while also giving me the ability to play the sport I love. Merrimack has an amazing health science program which will help me in my goal to become a physical therapist. When I visited the campus, I got to know the team and the coach very well and I could see myself fitting right in. I felt so welcomed and instantly became super excited about a future there. I loved the environment right off the bat which was very important to me. I have been to the campus many times whether it was for my brothers ice hockey games, or mine, and I like how it is familiar to me but is also a place where I know I can grow and flourish and learn new things. I can’t wait to see what these next 4 years hold and it is truly a huge weight lifted off my shoulders knowing that I was able to find the right school for me.
