Why NJIT?

I chose NJIT because of its location and cost. It was far enough away that I could stay on campus but close enough that I could go home when I needed to. As far as cost NJIT is probably one of the best values around for such a great education.

Why Electrical Engineering?

I chose electrical engineering because it’s the study of technology and a smaller scale, as in the inner workings of technology. I want to know exactly how things work down to each component.

What do you like best at NJIT?

The best part about NJIT is the fact that it’s a small campus where everyone is close. In some colleges you can get lost in sea of people there but at NJIT you get a chance to know most of the people on campus.

Why Connections Miniversity?

I chose to be a part of Connections Miniversity because I had a good experience with it when I attended and I wanted to make sure it stays that way.

Clubs & Organizations:

I’m involved in WJTB Radio, I’m the President of the TV Station, which is still in its starting stages, I am the chairman of the programming committee for Redwood Hall Council, and I’m involved in ECE Club which is a club for computer and electrical engineers.

Greatest Accomplishment:

My greatest accomplishment is attaining the rank of Eagle Scout in Boy Scouts. It is something that will stay with me forever and I will always be proud of it.

Career Goals:

My main career goal is to get a job as soon as I get out of college and to invent something that radically changes technology hopefully involving the energy crisis that we face today.

Favorite Music:

My favorite type of music is Rock and Alternative. Some of my favorite bands are Rise Against, 3oh!3, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Favorite Movie:

My favorite recent movie is Role Models; I thought it was a great comedy. I also loved the Dark Knight. The only type of movie I really don’t like is horrors.

Favorite Book:

My favorite book is probably Tuesday’s With Morrie because it’s the only book ive willingly read twice.

Favorite Class:

My favorite class this semester is Physics 121 which is the study of electrostatics and magnetism.
