Hello, I am Corentin, I was born and raised in France and at 18 I decided to pursue my studies in California. I started at Santa Monica College where I obtained an Associate Degree in Business Administration. I then later switched to a Computer Engineer major for two years but decided to pursue in Electrical Engineer. I am now a third year ECE major at UCSC to get a Bachelor’s Degree.

Describe your college experience

My first impression was the beauty of the campus. I really enjoy the nature side and the proximity to the beach. There are numerous activities and club that I participated in which allowed me to meet great people. Also by being close to the Bay Area and the Silicon Valley offers a lot of engineering opportunities and professional development.
