One of the things that struck me about Allen School of Health Sciences was how resourceful, caring, and well-respected staff members and professors were. Now, a little over 5 weeks later, I am a module 2 student and I can say with certainty to Module 1 students: You have an amazing arsenal of professors at your disposal who really want you to succeed. They will work with you every step of the way to prevent you from slipping- HOWEVER, you also have to put in your weight; that means coming to class on time every day, doing all of your assignments on time, and studying for all of your tests and quizzes. It may sound daunting, but it’s absolutely doable. No matter your walk of life, whether you are fresh out of high school, a returning student, have kids, or work- you have the tools here at Allen and the support system to do well. Remember you are not alone, but remember also to surround yourself with the right groups of fellow students who are going to motivate you and keep you on your toes- this made a tremendous difference in my performance last module and it’s something I will keep in mind for the rest of my time here at Allen School.
