Although I had another plans by the beginning of the 2020, I'd have never thought of being a nursing student at SAU. The twist I had almost a year ago meant a remarkable event in my life. I was not only blessed spiritually, but emotionally, and personally. I had the pleasure to meet amazing christian girls, godly professors, and a whole future ahead of me. Their quality education and its environment is inspiring. In addition, the campus is home for chapels and for several sports for students to practice, improving the student's life and spiritual growth in Jesus. My online experience has been breathtaking, I am so eager to be there soon and make my dreams come true! If its God's will it will happen at His timing. I praise Him to order my future and my life. Since He is the one who had shown me His almighty power, I can tell I have witnessed His mercy in my life. I am happy how I had such a growth and now, I can be a motivation for other women.
Something I liked about Southern Adventist University is the diversity on campus. It is such a nice place to make new friends and feel connected with nature. I definitely love the way we can praise God here and the facilities around campus. I am an outdoor person, so personally I really enjoy all the spots in which I can do homework, study around campus. Something I would like them to think about is cafeteria food. Be more inclusive and diverse when it comes to another menus (hispanic food) so international students or any hispanic student can feel a little bit like home.
Now talking about mental health, definitely their resources for students are awesome but I do think that they should hire more counselors and psychologists because the appointments fill up quickly so sometimes you have to wait a couple of weeks in order to get into one.
I think something that also makes me feel good at Southern is the social life that students can have in Southern, when we are far away from home.

I loved Southern! It is in a college town so there's not much to do around there, but Chatanooga is nearby. Chat isn't the funniest place on earth either, but there is stuff to do. The academics are great. The professors care about you and push you to do the best work that you can. If you apply yourself, you can greatly benefit from this university.
