When I came to Keiser University I was nervous to leave home. As soon as I got here it felt like home and the students and staff were very welcoming. I joined the cross country team and the coaches helped mentor me to be successful in my first year. By my second year I became an RA on campus and got to meet so many residents and host events to give them a fun experience. There is always something to do at campus to have a good time. I picked my major my second year and the professors were so passionate about the major it made it fun to be in class and learn. They are so helpful if you are struggling with an assignment or a class. I can honestly say that Keiser gives so many opportunities to become the best person you can be.+ Read more - Show less
