Favorite Class: PHYS 15 - Intro Physics, HonorsAn eye-opening physics experience filled with incredible demonstrations, intriguing apparatuses, mind-blowing lectures, and an awesome professor to tie it all together. Office hours were invaluable.

The section I chose for Writing 5, the freshman writing seminar. It's helped me find a new interest in journalism, and I've traveled all around the Northeast to conduct interviews and write awesome articles.
SpringOn Campus
Favorite Class: ENGS 20 - Intro to Scientific ComputingAn awesome intro to engineering class where we learn to code in C and Matlab. It assumes no prior knowledge of coding and teaches some super valuable skills for learning other programming languages.

Favorite Class: ENGS 21 - Intro to EngineeringThe premise of ENGS 21 is to jump right into the field of engineering by designing a product meant to improve quality of life for a target population. Many people have even gotten patents and started businesses from their groups in this class – it's an incredible opportunity and an amazing learning experience.

It's that quaint avenue peering through the Rocky arch—a place seldom touched upon on admissions tours and during information sessions—and a topic so often dodged around such that when I was applying to college, I even found it intimidating.




Four Outside Activities to Make the Most of Sophomore Summer
So far, each day has had its own instantaneous excursions, everything from friends calling to swim in the river to brief trips off exploring in the woods.
