Physical Therapy Student Testimonials – USAHS
[00:00:00] I remember when I first got accepted, I was so excited. I literally cried because this was actually my top school. [00:00:06] There was something about this school that just felt like I should, I should be here, and I feel like I can contribute to, you know, what they’re building here as well. [00:00:13] And not only for me, but, like, my mom that came with me, she was like, “Yeah, this school is for you.” [00:00:18] In my personal opinion, it’s one of the best PT schools just because of how hands-on we are. [00:00:24] I love all my professors. They’re all really amazing, and they want to help. [00:00:28] One of our professors was bold enough to give us his number. [00:00:31] They just want what’s best for us and to help us in all the ways possible. [00:00:35] That’s one of the things I really like about the professors. [00:00:38] They were very much student first. [00:00:39] And they give you all the resources you need to succeed, I feel. [00:00:42] You’re more than a number to them, and that’s something that I really appreciate. [00:00:45] Then you’re also in, like, within your cohort, like, they’re in the trenches with you, so you have someone else that’s just like, “Yeah, me too.” [00:00:51] This school is just so much for me. They’re very welcoming. Everybody’s super supportive.
