"I wanted a program that was well known, Elmhurst had a good reputation for nursing, and I wanted a small class size. I think people can make all the difference and everyone here is positive, supportive, fun. I wanted to feel like I was a person and not a number as a student and that's what I really like about Elmhurst."
