Allison Rushing, D.P.T.
College of Health Sciences, 2012
Being a student at Midwestern University was definitely hard work and fast-paced, but it was not competitive here. Everyone just wanted to help each other and in that aspect it was just really welcoming. People studied together and shared ideas.
Barbara Adams
