On attending Rensselaer: "Knowing the cutting edge and engaging curriculum Rensselaer offers its undergraduate students promised a meaningful and rewarding education. I was very involved in extracurriculars while in high school, and learning about the active student community here made RPI very appealing. Additionally, I was searching for a university where I could broaden my network and gain new perspectives. RPI seemed like a great way to accomplish this." - March 2014

Benefits of undergraduate community at Rensselaer: "Beyond the classroom, there really is a great deal to do around campus. So many of the student organizations are doing really great things, and it’s difficult to pick which ones you want to be a part of. Actually taking the time to integrate into the on-campus activities has been the most rewarding experience I’ve had at Rensselaer and has opened so many doors to opportunities I may have never discovered otherwise." - March 2014
