I have never been to an education center like Ross where there was so much passion and empathy for each individual student. The second I walked through those doors, every faculty and staff member made me feel so at home, which has allowed me to truly excel and feel empowered in my own skin. Ross has transcended my educational experience forever.

I was tired of saying I was going to go back to school and never taking the initiative to follow through. Finally, I did it and signed up at Ross Medical Education Center. I always doubted myself, but my instructors and the staff never did. Going to Ross was not only the best decision for me, but also for my family. I am currently working as a Medical Assistant and love my Job. If you have dreams, go for them. Never give up on your tomorrow!
