On attending Rensselaer: "I wanted to attend a school that would allow for me to be challenged academically and athletically, and this school provided that opportunity perfectly with its highly praised engineering programs and well rounded athletic teams." - July 2022

Benefits of undergraduate community: "While this school is challenging academically it does not feel as though there is much competition between students to do better than another. Every person I have met has been willing to explain concepts to me if needed and I have done the same for them. Overall there is an overarching sense of comradery between students." - July 2022
