Describe your college experience
I would say pretty good overall. I have made several friends while being here, I really enjoy the professors and haven’t had any issue with interactions, not to forget that the food here can be pretty good if you’re a glutton!
Tip for future students
Keep a schedule. During my first semester I failed to keep up with my classes due to me doing them the day before. I would 100% have a basic schedule of when to do classwork that way you aren’t lagging behind, can study without cramming too hard, and do other activities.
Favorite class
So far I would say Statics. The professor that I have had detailed the information that normally I would find rather boring with such passion that he was able to inspire me to learn more during his class.
Career goals
Become a developer of a new Prosthetic that exceeds the previous ones or develop the modern day cybernetics
Ideal way to spend a free night
Ideally the best way to spend the night is to get together with your best group of friends and do some activities, whether it be working, playing games, or relaxing.
