IN THEIR WORDS

The transfer admissions process was easy and was done quickly. The staff were very quick to answer any questions or concerns I had about the process. The financial aid package that I was offered was higher than what was offered to me when I applied as a high school senior.

I have had so many opportunities to be in leadership positions which will help me after I graduate in my career. I have really noticed myself stepping out of my comfort zone in many different ways since starting at Niagara.

“There is so much to do in Western New York alone and having the ability to go to Canada is an amazing opportunity that I never would have been able to do if I stayed in Arizona. It was cheaper for me to attend NU than any in-state school, which made me feel like it was a sign that I should make the most of the opportunity I was given.”
