For the past few months, I have been in search of a school that would fit my unique style of learning and passion for engineering and technology. I wanted a university with a happy, close-knit community of students that isn’t too big or too small. I've been looking for a school where I would not only be pushed to do well, but also enjoy the experience as a whole. I want to look back fondly at my college experience, knowing that I was well prepared for what lies ahead on my road towards the world of engineering and entrepreneurship.

WPI certainly has a project-centric focus, and this is something which will greatly foster my love of applied learning.

After researching those available to WPI students, I've found many that interest me, especially those involving engineering, programming, and electronics. I also want to make my college experience one where I branch out into things I've never been able to do such as sailing, radio, and activities that I may find along the
