On attending Rensselaer: "RPI gave me the perfect opportunity to receive a stellar engineering degree from an established institution as well as continue to play competitive golf. Those were the two biggest factors for me." - July 2019

Benefits of undergraduate community: "The undergraduate community at RPI is great to be a part of because everyone has the ability to pursue whatever it is they choose. From Greek life to intramural sports to the hundreds of clubs, there is a place for everyone. Also, the RPI name and reputation definitely carries its weight as you apply for internships and jobs, which is invaluable as a student." - July 2019
