    Rigorous Academics with a Personal Touch

    Gaby Montanez loves the way Wayne State’s professors push you to be successful in your classes. As a pre-med major, she has found her classes to be the perfect balance of rigor and encouragement from teachers who care about your personal achievements.

    • Check out the pre-professional health programs at Wayne State 
    • Need help with classes? We have you covered. 

    At Wayne State, you know, they really promote making sure that you ask questions, making sure that you understand what's happening in lecture and in lab. I definitely think that the classes here at Wayne State are very rigorous. And they're definitely helping me kind of, you know, develop the critical thinking skills, we have a small class size. So it really gives you the opportunity to get to know your professors, which I think is important, because when I started, you know, when I was thinking about college, it was like, oh, the professors are super intimidating and things like that. And it was, on the contrary, I went to class and professors really chill laid back. And we're just kind of like, we want to get to know you, and we want to help you.

    So if you have any questions about, you know, I don't know what to do with my life, or I don't know what to do with my major? They can typically lead you into any direction with that. So if you want to do research, or if you want to go to grad school, they kind of present you with different options like that, you know, and I think that's kind of just going off of all of campus, they want you to succeed. So they have all these resources, all these different services that they offer. And I just think that's awesome that you know, they're just wanting to support you in any way that you can. And I definitely have felt like I've been supported through my studies and just being involved on campus too. So try new things, try new thinking perspective. And when you do that, then you'll have a really great turnout and you'll come to love Wayne State just as much as I do.
