Snow was where I really grew in my academic and vocational future because of great teachers and a great study environment I was able to build the confidence to really accomplish anything I put my mind to. The chance to be selected as an anatomy ta really accelerated that belief in myself and solidified in my mind the power of hard work.

I loved my experience at snow college and loved the environment it provided.
