Carlos Pacheco, Radiation Therapy Graduate from KU Lakeland
My name is Carlos Pacheco and I am a KU graduate from the Radiation Therapy program. My experience as a student has been great. The campus is always there to help and the teachers are smart and informative. They’ve always had my back and I really appreciate that. KU is a good option for college because you’re not going to get lost in a class of 100 student – the professors are going to know you by name. You always feel like you are in the loop and you’re not just another person on the roster.
I would recommend attending KU. It’s beneficial to certain people if you have a particular way of learning. For example, I personally have benefited from the accelerated courses. The one month at a time class structure has helped me a lot. You go through a lot of stuff in life and having one class at a time really helps you focus on the material.
I definitely made the right decision coming to KU because the way the classes are set up it helped me so much. I don’t think I would have been able to survive any other way. Initially, I never planned on attending university, but I decided to come to KU and because of their nontraditional approach to learning, it helped me graduate.
My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
