Best Advice to give prospective college students: | | Make sure you attend the college YOU want to, visit as many as you can, and you make your final decision to the best of your ability because it is the rest of your life! |

Career Goal: | | I want to become a successful doctor or pharmacist (haven't made the final decision yet).chemistry. But I also love to learn and would like to continue on to graduate school one day for physics. |
|
Name one great thing about UDM: | | The professors understand that not everything comes easy, so they make sure they are available outside of class hours for help. To go with that, the smaller class sizes allow each student to have more individual time in class to ask questions or answer their professors. |
