Why did you choose Daniels

The staff at Daniels made me feel like a valued student, while other graduate programs I was accepted to made me feel as though they were the only thing of value. Before I made my decision, I had a personal tour and multiple meetings with the director of the School of Accountancy, Sharon Lassar, who worked with me to hand select my classes. She also was extremely accommodating with my prerequisites. Coming from an economics background, not many schools were understanding with me to get caught up in the world of accounting, but the staff and Daniels went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and accepted.
