On attending Rensselaer: "I chose to attend RPI because of its excellence in academics and the research opportunities provided to underclassmen. Knowing that Rensselaer truly sets itself aside as one of the nation’s best institutes for my majors made the decision pretty easy. Early communications with the track and field coaching staff and various professors here at RPI really sealed the deal." - August 2020 

"The reputation for excellence in the sciences. The school, faculty, and accompanied research truly stood out to me." - August 2021

Benefits of undergraduate community: "As an undergrad RPI there are plenty of opportunities to pursue your passions, whether it be academic, research based, or even a hobby you enjoy RPI undergrads have a plethora of opportunities to grow into whatever they would like." - August 2020

"Undergraduates have a plethora of opportunities to grow into whatever they would like." - August 2021
