Hello, my name is Fahia and I'm a rising senior majoring in mechanical engineering. At Northeastern I'm part of various engineering clubs. I'm also part of the honors program and have gone on multiple study abroad trips with it. I grew up around the Boston area and love showing people around.

Describe your college experience

Coming into my first semester, I struggled to get adjusted to rigor of college classes and navigating such a big school. However with time and researching the different opportunities at Northeastern I was able to find a community that helped me both academically and socially.

Tip for future students

Try to do some research on specific things Northeastern has to offer that you may be interested in before the fall. By doing this you can hit the ground running and not aimlessly wonder during the club​/​research fair.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been my intro to flight class that I took in the Seattle campus. This class was taught by a former marine pilot, and hearing about his experiences made the material much easier to comprehend.

Career goals

I plan on going to in to product development engineering after graduation and possibly go to graduate school.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I love exploring new restaurants around Boston with my roommates.
