Why
you chose Pitt:
When choosing a college, I knew that I wanted an urban campus
and Pitt’s was like no other school that I visited. It’s the perfect example of
living in a city that’s very manageable and not super intimidating. Pitt also
offers so many great benefits to its students- like free bussing on Port
Authority buses!
Advice
to a First Year Engineering Student:
Work hard in your classes and establish
good study habits, but remember to relax and have some fun! There’s no use in
being stressed out all the time and there’s always something interesting to do
either on campus or throughout the city of Pittsburgh- take advantage of every
opportunity!
Extracurricular
involvement and Future Goals:
In addition to being an Engineering Ambassador, I
am also a member of the Society of Women Engineers, the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers, Club Cross Country, and love playing intramural soccer and
volleyball with friends. Before graduating, I’d love to Co-op as well as have
some type of international experience here at Pitt.
