Advice for Prospective Students
My biggest advice to prospective students is that they should get involved in as many organizations as possible and to not be afraid to ask questions. Engineering is difficult! By developing a good group of engineering friends you can exponentially help yourself. Students should as well never refrain from asking questions, as they will only ever help you!
