San Marcos Campus Student Lifestyle – University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences
[00:00:00]: I’ve actually never experienced this amount of access to professors before. It’s like speaking to a colleague. I just feel like they’re very invested in our future. [00:00:10]: You can tell that they’re all passionate about what they do too, and they have chosen to be here every day, and it’s not a job for them. [00:00:16]: The relationships they build with the students are very impactful. [00:00:20]: They share their personal experiences, and it’s really helpful for us to really get a sense of what that actually looks like outside in the real world. [00:00:29]: I’ve met some incredible people, people that I’m gonna be friends with for the rest of my life. [00:00:34]: They really do become your family. They’re there for you. They support you. [00:00:37]: We do projects together, but not even just that, like, we do things outside of class as well, and it’s just a nice family environment. [00:00:45]: To have people who are excited about the same path that you’ve chosen, um, it really sets you all up for, um, a great journey into the health science profession. [00:00:55]: San Marcos is a great little family town, and it’s not too far from San Diego. [00:01:00]: San Diego’s amazing. [00:01:01]: I always say it’s like being on vacation. [00:01:04]: I like that we’re near San Diego but not directly in the city of San Diego. Close enough to mountains where I can go on a hike. [00:01:11: Very close to the beach, so you have that, like, surfer vibe. [00:01:14]: We go downtown a lot and eat out and see live music. [00:01:18]: You know, after an exam we’ll just go out and kick back and relax. It’s great to see your cohort outside of the school setting. [00:01:24]: It’s important to have that life-study balance, and it’s easy to have here.
