Hello my name is Marissa and I am a junior in the BS/MS occupational therapy program.
I am from Lancaster New York which is 35 to 40 min away from the city of Buffalo. One
unique aspect that D’Youville has to offer if the freshman focus class and as a freshman
I took this class. It is a zero credit class once a week that you may not see the benefits
of it in the beginning but once you’re done with it you will see how very beneficial it
is. During this class you will learn about different study techniques, time management,
money skills, where to buy text books, the cheapest textbooks, what classes are super
difficult and compare them with what. All that stuff that you just might not have any
idea about until it’s a part of your freshman year. And then last year I had the opportunity
to co-teach it. So from the teacher prospective we just really wanted to help with that transition
from high school into college, that is just so vastly important and so different from
what you’re used to. So definitely embrace focus with an open mind and it is very beneficial.
