Now, as a rising sophomore studying Industrial Engineering at Purdue, I was thrilled to find I have secured a role as a Defense Manufacturing Engineering Intern at Rolls-Royce in Indianapolis. However, facing my first internship felt a bit intimidating, and I started feeling some anxious anticipation.

I was so excited for what was ahead, but also a little unsure about what the transition would be like. Now that I’m on the other side of it, here are a few tips to keep in mind while making the jump from high school to college ! Move-in day with one of my roommates! Go out and explore It can be really tempting to stay in your room studying all evening or to sit alone during meals with your headphones on, but that could make it difficult to meet your people. Go to club callouts that interest you, check out events you see advertised around campus, get involved with Greek life, or join an intramural sports team!
