What is the best year of school?


Brendan Till, ME freshman


I think it is probably freshman year because you get to meet new people and adjust to the novelty of living on your own. It’s great to finally be independent and get away from your parents.

 

Seulkee Lee, CEE Ph.D. candidate


The first year of your Ph.D. program is the best because it is new and exciting and you get to build on what you learned as an undergraduate. It was also my first year in America.

 

Kofi Inkabi, CEE Ph.D. candidate


The first year of my master’s program was my favorite because not only did I meet people from all over the world, but I found the work very challenging. That level of rigor helped make me a better student.

 

Brian Snyder, Eng. Undeclared freshman


I would imagine that grad school is the best time in school because you have found what you want to do and you don’t have to take any general education classes.
