On attending Rensselaer: "Rensselaer is a school with many opportunities for undergraduates to become involved in research, which is one reason I decided to attend the school. Rensselaer also owns the Center for Biotechnology, which provides state-of-the-art equipment for student and faculty research." - March 2014

Benefits of undergraduate community at Rensselaer: "There are many benefits to being part of the undergraduate community at Rensselaer. Faculty are always willing to help students. Teammates are also willing to help each other not just on the field, but in the classroom as well. Many of my peers have also held meaningful events such as Relay for Life." - March 2014
