On attending Rensselaer: "I decided on RPI because of the great academics and soccer program it offered. I wanted to work hard and challenge myself, while still be able to pursue my passion for soccer. Also, my brother attended RPI and played on the men's soccer team. Thus, I was aware of the environment and the great opportunities that come with attending a prestigious school and being a college athlete." - August 2018

Benefits of undergraduate community at Rensselaer: "It is a close-knit community, which allows for a great support system. It is very helpful when you know that so many students are in the same boat, experiencing the same things as you." - August 2018
