I learned so much in my short time here at Ross. Mrs. Hawley was one of the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. She made every day in the classroom enjoyable and amazing. I'm so glad I chose Ross to help me step into my medical career. Now that I've graduated, I feel prepared to start this next chapter in my life and I am very excited.

I like Ross because it's very hands-on and fast-paced. Everyone is very nice and welcoming. I also like how they help place you in an office when you're completely done with schooling.
