You learn a lot in the classroom, but you are not doing direct patient care. With my hands-on experience at Community First, I feel more confident about interacting with patients. I have those communication skills now.

Just having the security of knowing my tuition bills are going to be covered is so huge. I don’t have the constant anxiety about the financial aspects of school anymore.

Aiden Brillhart

Major: Psychological Science

It is not anything like what I was going to school for, but I ended up learning a lot of stuff about real life, like working in a factory, what to use certain things for, when to put a coating on a machine, adding up measurements on tubes ... lt really just helped me a lot to get a perspective of the real world.
