On attending Rensselaer: "I wanted to go to an engineering/science school and was impressed with their chemistry-related programs. It also just felt like a good fit and each time I visited, I enjoyed it." - January 2014

Benefits of undergraduate community at Rensselaer: "It is very welcoming and students genuinely want to help each other learn; we all try to support each other and work through difficult classes together.  Classes are interesting and challenging but that makes them that much more rewarding. It is nice to be in an environment with other students who also care about schoolwork, want to learn and work hard in classes, and have similar academic interests." - January 2014
