On attending Rensselaer: "Before coming to visit Rensselaer I was aware of the great academic opportunity. Then when I stepped onto campus for the first time I noticed how nice the athletic facilities were. I chose Rensselaer for the education and hockey." - August 2018

"I was attracted to the humility of the student-athlete body. The schedule of a college athlete is a lot on its own, but to study at Rensselaer at the same time and do well in both is something to be proud of." - August 2021

Benefits of undergraduate community: "I am in the engineering program and have noticed the general respect from people in engineering firms. The benefit of this is getting an internship is one step easier upon mentioning where I go to school." - August 2018

"Networking becomes a lot easier after having graduated from RPI. Alumni are everywhere and always give a helping hand whether they knew you or not." - August 2021

Why RPI: "In addition to an awesome engineering education, RPI provides unique dual major options including design, innovation, and society focuses. The co-terminal program option allows students to transition directly into graduate programs. My first visit to RPI was for an entire weekend and I loved it right away. The extra time gave me confidence in knowing RPI was perfect for me. The deeper I looked, the more I liked RPI and every day found new amazing things to love. Awesome academics, awesome hockey. I can hardly wait!" - July 2017
