Describe your college experience
I have had an amazing social and academic experience at UCF and I believe the community of people I have met there as well as the facilities available by the university have enabled me to navigate a tough course load while maintaining a good social balance and healthy lifestyle.
Tip for future students
The transition into university lifestyle can be very challenging, the key is to manage your time wisely and make the best decisions for your future regarding scheduling and course selection.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been Intro to Engineering as it showed me what the engineering field has to offer, and it also is where I met a lot of the fellow students I currently am still in touch with.
Career goals
I want to be involved in space exploration as well as potentially work on rocketry and propulsions engineering.
