Though the campus is beautiful and there are plenty of teachers around to help me understand the course material, the part of ISU that really caught my eye is their fitness center. This is extremely important to me due to the fact that I will be majoring in athletic training and I will be using that building often. Exercising and participating in sports have been important to me all my life, so this is why studying to become an athletic trainer will be a perfect job for me. I have researched athletic training programs in several different schools and ISU has an outstanding program in which I will excel in. I believe I will show many of my academic strengths throughout this program. This program will be...
