I had the privilege of attending the Nanoscience and Biomedical Engineering program at the South Dakota School of Mines in Rapid City, South Dakota. This program offered an amazing educational opportunity and I was particularly impressed by the interdisciplinary biology research. Not only were the department faculty amazing to work with but the staff at the school were always available to help, especially the Graduate Education Office. The entire experience felt manageable, deadlines were clear, and assistance was always available. Not only is the school worth attending but the Black Hills national forest provides an amazing chance for hiking and spending personal time outdoors.
