Why did you choose Pitt?
I really liked that Pitt offered an Engineering Science degree option making it possible to pursue physics while still gaining the skills of an engineer.
Advice for First-Year Engineering Students
The best thing you can do is meet other First-Year Engineering Students. Creating study groups and surrounding yourself with others working through the same subject matter is what I found helped me the most freshman year.
Extracurricular Involvement and Other Campus Jobs
Outside of the classroom I am involved on the Club Gymnastics Team and Circle K (Kiwanis).
Plans for the Future
I plan on working at Dahlgren Navy Base after graduation for the Department of Defense.
