Mackenzie Riley – Nursing Major
- Why UNE?
- I grew up coming to Maine every summer to my grandparents lake house and I loved it here, and so my senior year of high school I decided to tour UNE and I really loved it and Ithought it was such a beautiful campus. And it honestly has an amazing nursing program, and I have always heard good things about it.
- Whats some advice you can give to new students?
- Find a good balance between your social life and school work, that is one thing I really struggled with when I first got here, especially if you have a harder major. Make sure you keep your week days for studying and school and have fun on the weekends, but really get that school life social life balance.
- What does a typical day look like for you?
- It depends on the day for me, I have my clinicals so I have one day off a week, and the other I am at the hospital. And I have classes Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
- What does an off day look like for you?
- Just studying and catching up on sleep.
Make sure to find a good balance between your school work and social life

- Whats some advice you can give to new students?
