Why I Chose Ithaca College
I chose Ithaca College because of the amazing community here, as well as the speech-pathology program. I was really excited to jump right into my major-related classes as a first-year student without having to wait!

Clinical Placements
I participated in two clinical placements during my senior year: I worked as a student clinician for a Language Enhancement Program at a local preschool and also met with a client at Ithaca's on-campus Ewing Speech and Hearing Clinic. These were both amazing experiences that allowed me to practice what I had been learning in my classes and apply it to real-world situations.

Why I Chose Ithaca College
I chose IC for many reasons, one of which was the strong academics within my department. I was excited to learn that there was a Speech and Hearing Clinic right here on campus that I would be able to get hands-on experience in during my time as an undergraduate student. The Ithaca community, from the gorges to the Commons, felt like a perfect place to go to college. I also felt that the size was perfect for me. And now as a student here, I truly feel seen by the faculty and never feel like just a number here.
Advice
Ask questions! Use your resources! Talk to current students and faculty Statistics are one thing, but personal connections will be most important in making an informed college decision. Also, take care of yourself throughout the process. It can be stressful and difficult, but you are more than capable of getting through it!

Why I Chose IC
When searching for colleges, my two main focuses were ensuring that I would be a name and not a number in my classes and that whatever school I chose would have the courses/ majors I may be interested in. I did not know what I wanted to study, but I was interested in both fine arts and sports medicine. Ithaca had a good art program, a great health science program, and the Exploratory Program to help me put the pieces together without the anxiety of being labeled "undecided." As a smaller school with a close-knit community both within and outside of the classroom while still maintaining a wide variety of well-established programs equipping you with the resources you need to succeed in your chosen field, Ithaca was exactly what I was looking for.

Advice
Explore all your options, and don’t feel like you need to have all the answers. College is a time to learn more about yourself—what you like and more important what you don’t (so you never have to do it again)! There are countless resources to help you with your college decision, but ultimately the choice is yours and yours alone. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!
