Why UD?

I chose UD because I could feel the sense of community right when I step on campus and there are so many things to take part in both inside and outside of engineering!

Why did you choose engineering? Why UD engineering?

I have always wanted to know the how and why behind how things work but have also always had a passion for anatomy, from here I knew that biomechanics was the direction I wanted to go! I liked how UD's engineering program allowed you to have a broad major while still being able to minor in an area that interests you and how there was so much support to make sure you get the most out of your time at UD.

What is your favorite part of UD?

My favorite part about UD is the sense of having a home away from home and always having the opportunity to take part in something new.

What advice would you give high school students?

When visiting campuses, it can be overwhelming with lots of new information coming in. Try to take a minute to just think about how you feel when you're walking around!
