Why I Chose Oregon State

I heard lots of good things about the accounting program, and I loved the campus. I liked the fact that it’s relatively small, which gave me more opportunities for one-on-one learning.

Why I chose Oregon State

Originally, I chose Oregon State because of the forestry program—my family was involved in forestry. But then I was introduced to merchandise management by one of my professors, so decided to do a double major in business. I wanted to stay in the Northwest, but I wanted to go out of state. It’s a very friendly community—the city of Corvallis and all the students here.
