Actively Involved
I
enjoy playing intramural sports with my fraternity. They go year round
and allow me to get a break from studying. The sports range from
football to a foosball tournament. Intramurals have different leagues,
which allow me to go out and just have fun without having to be
competitive.
Advanced Degrees
Case
is a top-rated school that offers a great undergrad educational
experience. This allows me to practice as an engineer right out of
school or to get any number of advanced degrees.
Out of their Way
The
professors are the best element of my education so far. My department's
educational program is really elevated by having top-notch professors
who care. The professors go out of their way to give support to the
students outside of class.
A Little Different
My
freshman year here at Case was the first time I have lived outside of
Atlanta. Needless to say, it's a little different. I enjoy being so
close to a lot of activities. The museums have a lot to see. Little Italy and Coventry are close by and a good place to hang out or just to grab
some food.
Smooth and Memorable
My
biggest challenge at Case was adjusting when I first came here. I was
in a new city and I did not know anyone. The staff and the other
students are really friendly and helped make the transition smooth and
a memorable experience.
Any Number of Things
I'm
a member of a fraternity, and being involved in Greek life is a great
way to be involved in alot of fun activities on the weekends. In
addition, there are any number of things to do ranging from the Flats to club activities at Case.
Passion for Learning
I've
had so many good professors that I don't think I can single one out.
The distingushing feature that stands out about them is there passion
for learning. The professors want to see the students succeed and are
there every step of the way to help.
Allowed Me to Enter
I
want to work for a few years before deciding if I am going to get a
master's. Having a degree from Case will allow me to enter engineering
master's programs or an MBA program.
