It  isn’t  a secret that Purdue Engineering has a rigorous course load, and it is important to stay up to date with your coursework. But it  is just  as important to  proactively  take care of  yourself, bec ause  it is incredibly difficult to succeed academically when you are not physically and mentally healthy.

My first semester of college was already a huge change as I moved a thousand miles away from home, and on top of this, I was worried I wouldn’t know how to choose the right engineering discipline. Yet, I’m happy to say that the resources provided to first year engineering students truly guided me and helped me realize that I want to pursue Biomedical Engineering.
