I learned that Bryan does not have on campus
housing. It is unlike most colleges that I have looked into in this aspect.
Although they provide help to students with contractors to find housing in
Lincoln, I see this as a downside of the college. Being responsible for paying
a monthly rent is a lot to handle along with all the other responsibilities of
college.

I was very impressed that Bryan is the only
college in Nebraska that has plastinates and one of only a few in the country.
The fact that it is a small and not widely known college is surprising given
all the opportunities that it has. UNMC and Creighton have much more publicity
but it is very interesting that Bryan has this technology for its students to
learn from.

This experience opened me up to more fields of
medicine. Sonography sounded very interesting to me. It was also beneficial to
see some of the learning techniques (plastinates and cadavers) that we may be
working with in our future.

I found this trip valuable. It solidified my
decision not to go to Bryan, but it also helped me consider what I am looking
for in a college. Seeing things that I didn’t like about Bryan like the size
and the fact that there is not on campus housing will help me narrow down my
search for colleges.
