Architectural Engineering, Class of ‘26“Since we get paid on co-op, the program enables me to pay for a lot of my tuition, which was initially a huge concern for me as an out-of-state student. I also love how there is so much to do on and off campus and there are so many ways you can get involved in organizations on campus or even start your own!”
