On attending Rensselaer: "I was able to come in as an undeclared engineer, which allowed me to explore different majors before I found the one that worked for me. I also really liked the academic environment. I feel like most students really care a lot about their courses and being a student always comes first." - August 2020 

Benefits of undergraduate community: "I love all the collaboration that happens. I think that there is an understanding that it is in everyone's best interest to work together when it comes to difficult classes and busy schedules, so I feel like there is a lot of support among the students and especially the student-athletes when it comes to balancing every aspect of the college experience. We all are going through much of the same experiences, and we all work together to get through the tough ones." - August 2020
