Class Of: 2013

Campus: Old Westbury
Major: Occupational Therapy, M.S.

My NYIT experiences have led me to new friends, new hobbies, activities, and a path to a new and better life. Since last semester, when I first arrived to this school, I have made several friends who I wouldn’t normally hang out with. Not only do I hang out with them during school, but outside of school as well. I became more open minded about different cultures and religious beliefs. This campus is very diverse, and you have so much to learn about different people. I enjoy several of the evening programs, which include bingo, comedy night, and movies. At the student activity center, I usually play billiards, but I also do it outside of school so it’s more like a hobby now.

NYIT has opened up a new path for me. I’m so focused on school, studying and getting my degree in Occupational Therapy. My goals are set high and I plan on completing them with the help of HEOP staff and NYIT professors.
