This chapter was not housed, but they really did a good job of making it feel as though it was! When my rusher asked me what my major was (mechanical engineering) instead of freaking out like the others did, she got really excited and said "Really?? What do you want to do?" and when I told her about my passion for roller coasters, that's when we really started talking. I was amazed that I was having a real, actual conversation instead of random chit chat. It was such a releif! I was so sad to leave Orange once time was up because I felt like I had really found a place I liked.

I think you might be my twin...lol I went into mechanical engineering wanting to design roller coasters. I exhaustedly contacted many of the design companies at the end of college basically volunteering to intern for free. I am so far from designing roller coasters now. I had a roommie a couple of years ago who was a lanscape architect. We used to have pipe dreams about designing waterparks together. -end slight hijack
I didn't have the same issues with recruitment and being an engineering major as you. I didn't declare my major till my soph. year. I joined my first semester at non-competitive school. I hope current collegiates will read your story and give PNMs in engineering a fair shot. Just because they are technically minded does not mean they do not enjoy the same outside of class activities.
Looking forward to more. I think I am becoming a recruitment story addict now.
