I attended the College of Western Idaho and received my Associate of Science with an emphasis on healthcare. I decided to transfer to Idaho State after discovering the ISU College of Pharmacy. What stuck out to me was the affordability, high residency match rate, and the age of the program — over 100 years old! Transferring
was easier than I expected; it was as simple as obtaining an ISU login then selecting my classes for my degree. So far, I enjoy being a student at ISU, especially for all the resources available. What made the transfer most rewarding is the staff. They are remarkable here, and they make it obvious that they want us all to succeed.

My transfer experience was nothing but the best. At my previous school, I was unable to take steps towards my goal of a career in the medical field, and ISU came to mind. I set up meetings with faculty and advisors to explore my options, and I chose nursing. The nursing advisors made sure I had all the resources to
help me be successful. When I arrived at ISU, I immediately felt at home. The atmosphere here is unmatched. I love attending all the athletic events as well as the events that go on throughout campus.
I am so grateful for my experience here at Idaho State and can’t wait to see what else is in store for me here.
