Did you visit campus before choosing UE? What did you think about UE after that visit?
Yes, the campus was beautiful, and everyone was welcoming and friendly! It made me feel okay about moving away from home.
Why did you choose to attend UE’s PsyD program over other graduate/doctoral programs?
A big factor of why I chose UE’s PsyD program is how friendly and welcoming the staff were, but I also really enjoyed that the program is newer and has room for growth as times change.
What advice would you share with students going through the college search for graduate/doctoral programs?
Keep an open mind and don’t be afraid to look at programs far from home. It could be a great change and give you the opportunity to meet new people.
Why do you recommend UE?
If you are looking for a friendly community that feels like a family, then this is the program for you!
