why did you choose to study at minnesota state, mankato?
The staff has been supportive to me since day one. Even when I asked them questions that would otherwise be called silly they were patient with me. I also chose the school because it offered the major that I wanted which is nursing and there’s Mayo Clinic close by which has always been my dream place to work after Johns Hopkins. And there are a lot of opportunities to grow as a student and career wise within the school system.
