Why Sparrow?: During the interview there was an emphasis on wellness and resident well-being. On arriving here it's clear that wellness is a sincere and ever present part of the long established program, which is very important to me. I feel like I have gained a new family here at Sparrow and the support we get is phenomenal. The surrounding area is another big draw and lends itself to some excellent mountain biking, hiking, and paddle boarding. The community itself is warm and welcoming so I am already strongly considering staying after graduation.
