On attending Rensselaer: "RPI offered a good balance between studies and athletics. I fell in love with the track team and the materials engineering department. My professors and coaches genuinely care about my successes in and out of sports and I couldn't ask for anything more." - September 2021

Benefits of undergraduate community: "The students here want each other to succeed and are willing to help each other through tough classes. There are tons of opportunities for you to find a group of people that you can study with and hang out with outside of class." - September 2021
