I chose the University of Dayton's Doctor of Physical Therapy program because it was the first institution where I had the opportunity to engage with faculty members and connect with alumni. The welcoming and friendly nature of the individuals I encountered fostered a sense of comfort and belonging. This positive experience inspired me to explore physical therapy within such a supportive environment, reinforcing my decision to join UD!
