What I liked

The faculty were profound in their ability to express their own philosophical thoughts on science, math, medicine, and technological advances. Majoring in biochemistry has molded me into a more well-versed individual along with minoring in behavioral neuroscience, which has mirrored my love for health and wellness. Community-oriented and zealous, a spirit for justice in bioethics and passion for discovering a myriad of possibilities for growth and potential. Integration of hands-on research and being immersed in a rich environment for team building has encompassed the evolution of biomedical sciences.

What I wish was different

Unlike other universities, Stockton's limited range of master's programs for biomedical intensive programs has shown to be a shock. With more funding targeted at the analysis of proteins, chemical compounds, and neural stem cell fates, the programs available are inclusive and private. By expanding the interest in neuroscience or biochemistry molecular biology, individuals hold the power to ignite a trend in the nation's habits, cultural movements, and other ideologies. For instance, bio ethical laws have been created to protect certain lobbyists and international agencies from overcoming the boundaries of normal social standards and protocols. Ergo, the guidelines protect manufacturing companies, grounded industries, and organizations from angled attacks on their human rights.

Advice

One single essential piece of advice that I would share regarding this experience is to continue to learn in multiple fields of studies, as exploration leads to diverse thought. Perceptions that riddle the mind are challenged and many fail to actualize their dreams before the path has begun. As a result, one has to seek the paradigm shift in the ripple effects of laws, policies, and attitudes passed onto the next generation. Due to the onset of anxiety, fear, and irrational behavior, students tackle these rough issues by negative or even toxic actions in self-harm. Always seek help when a crisis has happened to you.
