Are upper years scary?? 😯😬

Being a first year may be overwhelming. You feel like you’re on top of the world in your last year of high school, then you have to start all over again the year after. You’re thrusted into a situation where everyone is suddenly adults. Luckily for you, many upper years (especially in our program) are actually really friendly if you talk to them. You’ll meet a lot of the second years and beyond at frosh events, or if you’re in SEESS, or at just about any event that they throw. Try to get to know them! They will give you really good advice on scheduling, opinions on professors, and engineering school in general as they’ve already experienced what you are experiencing right now. Some upper years have done really cool co-op positions as well, so be sure to ask them about what they’ve done and if you’re interested in the same field they’re concentrated in, tips on how to break into there.
