There were a few factors that led to me deciding to go to UNK. The main reason was the chemistry program and the opportunities I would have as an undergrad student that I wouldn’t have at other universities. I was able to start student research my freshman year, which allowed more one-on-one teaching and work experience in the lab that would be harder to get in a lab class with lots of students. Another reason was the scholarships that I was offered, which really helped to cut down on expenses that I needed to pay while in school.
