Study sessions, fall leaves, and that pre-exam focus 🍂🍁👨🏻‍💻 Balancing research, coursework, and outdoor time, just another day in the life of a grad student at NYMC! Grateful for a campus that feels both inspiring and grounding during exam season. One of my favorite parts about being a student at NYMC's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences is the sense of curiosity and community that drives our learning forward every day.
