| Additional comments |
I made some good friends (male) in other U.Va. schools and ones (female) in my own nursing class. I always enjoyed the group activities we spent at the school and the Baptist Student center.
I enjoy newsletters - especially information about former students I knew.
I feel that restricting marriage of student nurses during my time at the school was a mistake and caused a lot of stress in the student nurses.
