Overview
TRCC Biology Transfer Aaron Nyambe

“I am a Biology Transfer student hoping to go to pre-med at Eastern. As an International student, I pay out-of-state rates, and it’s still less expensive than other universities.

I also like that at Three Rivers, I meet a lot of ethnic groups and that the faculty is always willing to help. The community is like a family because it is such a small school.”

Aaron Nyambe
