I chose Lynn for it's location, block schedule, small campus, and the psychology program. I like to swim, go for long walks, hang out with friends, and read when I'm not in class. I hope to continue on with my education and pursue a masters in social work or clinical mental health counselling.

I chose Lynn because of the small classroom sizes, iPad powered learning, and the beautiful surrounding areas. I chose my major due to me wanting to be a play therapist for children with autism. I love to do yoga, go thrifting, and spend time outside with my bunny when I'm not in class. After graduating from Lynn, I would like to get my masters in clinical mental health counseling. Then, I want to take that degree and become a children's therapist.

I chose Lynn for the location, class size, schedule, and overall learning environment. Outside of class, I spend a lot of time outdoors! I love to find new trails, go to the beach, or go jet-skiing! After Lynn, I hope to have built meaningful connections and made a lot of memories!

As a member of the women's swim team, I chose Lynn because of the diverse student body and the hands-on nature of the psychology program. Outside of the classroom, I love cooking, relaxing at the beach and doing anything adventurous.
