Owasso, OK MEDICAL/MOLECULAR BIOLOGY CLASS OF 2013
IT'S PERSONAL "I had a lot of options when I graduated from high school, but I chose RSU. The campus is beautiful, and the financial aid office connected me with scholarship opportunities that allowed me to graduate debt free. I got the traditional university experience while getting hands-on research experience that will definitely pay off when I go to dental school." CLAREMORE | BARTLESVILLE | PRYOR
