I enjoy the nursing program and the students I am with. The profs are all very helpful. We as nursing students get clinical experience a year before most schools which is great! Freshman year I lived in a dorm. Since then I have been in an off campus apartment with my best friends and it has been great. The area around school is not the safest especially at night so it is important to travel with others and be aware of you surroundings. Classes are definitely tricky, but the teachers care about you. Any nursing school is difficult, but with time management, peers, and determination it is do able. I have made some friends I think I will have for life here! There are some events on campus such as shows, bingo which lots of people go to, sporting events, etc. It is a smaller school, but I prefer that. It was easier to get to know people and make friends in my opinion. Since classes are smaller there is more room to get help or ask questions. If you are considering nursing, it’s great!
As a commuter I wasn’t expecting much when it comes to enjoying campus, but I was very wrong. Not only have I been welcomed as a commuter, but we have been given special services every once an a while and it does feel nice to get some attention. Other than enjoying campus the professors have all been great. The professors are attentive, helpful, and kind. I have never had a teachers that have helped as much as my college ones have. Fitchburg States Professors have not let me down yet and I have high hopes that they won’t in the future!
The people at Fitchburg State are incredibly helpful! I'm so exicted to start there this year, I finally feel excited to go to school and learn. Everyone I've spoke too say I will exceed beyond my previous education at Fitchburg. Go Falcon's!
