Northwestern offers opportunities to work and volunteer at renowned hospitals like Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and Lurie Children’s Hospital. Moreover, as a graduate student, I value the city's vibrant energy; our downtown Chicago campus is just 15 minutes from Lake Michigan, allowing us to enjoy its beauty during lunch breaks. Additionally, the faculty are incredibly inclusive and attentive, prioritizing student needs within and outside the program.
