I have the desire to attend MSU because of their tremendous engineering program. MSU’s Bagley College of Engineering is ranked 34th nationwide. I want the best chance of succeeding that I can possibly get. Only 9 percent of American engineers are women. The low numbers of women practicing in the engineering profession can be discouraging, but I am very motivated and determined that I can do. I also want to attend MSU specifically because of its beautifully landscaped campus which is still constantly in the process of growing and modernizing. MSU is also nestled in the middle of a buzzing college town with no shortage of places to shop or diners to dive into. The college is more spread out than some, so walking can be tough at times, but MSU also has a multi-route bus transit system, is bike-friendly, and has a fair amount of parking space.
