On attending Rensselaer: "Excellent undergraduate engineering programs and a highly motivated and successful running program with a fantastic coaching staff." - August 2017

Benefits of undergraduate community: "Having the support of your peers is paramount with such challenging undergraduate programs. Having teammates in your major to study with helps to keep you motivated to balance a heavy course load with practice and competition demands. It is also comforting to be able to talk to your teammates and grow special bonds as you try to do something amazing: get a degree at a nationally elite school while competing on some of the top D3 teams in the nation." - August 2017
