A Prime Location

Transcript

Now it’s time to meet Zachary, a second year Doctor of audiology student and Sierra, a first-year audiology student. Zachary is a Philly native who already knew all of the potential packed into Philly’s prime location. Sierra on the other hand had to travel a little bit farther to attend Salus and become a local in the Philadelphia area, which is known as a leader in the healthcare industry, as well as a recreational hotspot offering easy access to city life, wildlife, basically anything you crave. Relocating from Oregon to become a Salus student is a move Sierra will never forget nor regret. Please take it away.

– Thanks Alex. What’s up everybody. With a city that has so much to offer, it’s no surprise that Philadelphia is one of the leaders in the healthcare field, attracting students from both near and far, just outside of Philadelphia in a smaller part of town is a university with a big attitude, Salus University. Salus University isn’t just your average university, it seeks those with passion, those who value hard work and dedication. Philadelphia, the city I call home and the place so many others seek out for its rich tradition and countless shall opportunities in the healthcare field. A city built on hard work, passion and a diehard fan base, Sko birds. Philadelphia is anything but ordinary. Whether it’s the city life you seek or a quiet place to enjoy nature, Philadelphia provides countless opportunities for all to find. If you ask a local Philly guy like me, choosing Salus wasn’t hard, especially with a great opportunity right down the street. The university located in the Mecca of healthcare, local to some of the greatest hospitals and medical facilities combined with hands-on experience from day one, Salus university makes no excuses when it comes to providing the most for students. Those who come from near and far. Hey Sierra.

– Hey Zach.

– Tell us a little bit of how you came up from the West coast to come to Salus.

– Yeah, absolutely. So I’ve always been such a home body, staying near my home town of Portland, Oregon. So when the opportunity to attend Salus came along, it really rocked my world. But how often in life can you pack up everything you own, drive over 3000 miles across eight States and experience an entirely new world? I’d only been to the East coast one other time before moving to the Philadelphia area but I fell in love instantly. Philadelphia is one of the oldest cities in the United States so there’s always something to learn and explore. Remember back to your fourth grade history class when you learned how Betsy Ross made the American flag we know today? You can set foot right into her sewing room. Or how about Valley forge for George Washington set up camp during the revolutionary war? Well, I just took my dog on a walk there last weekend and whenever I’m missing home, I had the opportunity to see the breathtaking beauty of the Pocono mountains, or if I’m in the mood for some city lights, downtown Philadelphia is the ideal location. The best part about living here is you’re so close to so many other States and major cities such as New York, Washington DC, Boston, Baltimore and the Jersey shore. You can visit a new place almost every weekend when you’re a Salus student. That way, when your clinical rotations begin, you’ve already fallen in love with your next adventure. Back to you, Alex.

– You said it guys, from East to West coast, Salus students share the love for Philly, quickly feeling at home, not just in the city of brotherly love but also at the university, a whole community in itself. Thanks again for sharing that guys.
