Why I love my program

I get to learn how things work and to me, that is the coolest thing I could study. I loved physics in high school and decided that I had to major in it. The first time we derived the kinematics equations from calculus, I knew this was the right choice. Even on the hard days, I love what I learn and wake up excited to attend lecture. I also love the people in my program, they are some of the nicest, smartest, most caring people and I am so lucky to be surrounded by such a positive community.

Why University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ?

Coming to À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ open houses gave me hope for life after high school. The first time stepping on campus, I felt like I belonged. People encourage your passions, embrace who you are, and are just as interested in niche things as you. À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ has a great co-op program, and the professors are world class, but the reason I chose À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ was because from minute one, it felt like home. 5 years since my first visit, I can confidently say I made the right choice.
