On attending Rensselaer: "On the day that I first visited RPI, I was able to meet with a few student-athletes. Their attitudes towards RPI and what it stood for really sold it for me. The love and respect for the vast opportunity and success that can be attained here is why I attend RPI. Now I share that same attitude." - June 2020 

Benefits of undergraduate community: "The community at Rensselaer often feels united. The majority of the people you come across are experiencing and struggling with the same things that you are as an individual. As a community there are an abundant amount of resources to cover everyone’s needs and people on and off campus want to help everyone have a good experience here at RPI." - June 2020
