Academics are also a big factor that comes into play with getting into the nursing programs. LLC will keep us focused on our classes and ensure that we maintain a high GPA throughout our freshman year. For the first two years, I plan on taking the pre-requisites that I need for the nursing program. My goal is to maintain a 3.5 or higher through my freshman and sophomore year.

The School of Nursing Living-Learning Community (LLC) will also provide me with fruitful opportunities such as sponsored conferences, educational field trips, and getting to interact with the upper-level nursing students at FAMU.
