I am a Canadian student and initially heard about Niagara because of the soccer team.  I came to Niagara not having known too much about the program or the environment here.  Niagara University has provided an excellent learning environment. This was because the classes were small and the professors were very knowledgeable and helpful.  They always had time to answer questions and give advice.  The seminar classes for both biology and chemistry are very informative and prepared me for future endeavors.  They tell you what you need to do in order to get into Graduate programs, how to impress during interviews, how to write resumes and cover letters, as well as lab safety and many other things.  The professors have provided constant support and always are quick to inform you of job openings and special events.

     I am interested in doing biomedical research and I plan to attend Graduate school in the near future.  For now I am looking to work in San Diego at a pharmaceutical company, to get a feel for the industrial setting.  My long term goal is to develop therapeutic treatments and design drugs for human genetic diseases.  I feel that with the lab experience I have attained at Niagara, I will be able to accomplish this desire.  Niagara University provided an opportunity for me to present my undergraduate research at science conferences where I was able to meet many people in the field. 

Altogether Niagara University, has been an excellent experience and if I had the choice to make over again, I would still choose Niagara.  I highly recommend Niagara University, and more specifically the chemistry department.
