“I chose Chadron State because of the affordability and the great opportunities and benefits for international students.”

Alphese Stubbs

Student

“I chose Wayne State primarily based on the size as well as its health programs. I knew I didn’t want to go to a huge school where I was just a face in the crowd, and the relationships that I can build with my professors have been beneficial to my academic success. RHOP is a great opportunity. The program also has a strong partnership with University of Nebraska Medical Center, which made it extremely appealing to me.”
