Best advice for an incoming student: 
My best advice for incoming students is to find a balance between your school work and social life. Going to one of the best colleges can be stressful with always feeling like you need to be studying or doing better. Find things that you are passionate about outside of the scope of school and take time to put yourself first.

Why should you come to Wreck Camp?: 
You should come to Wreck Camp to meet your lifelong friends. This can be weird to think about but as a fourth year, some of my best friends are people that I went to Wreck Camp with or have served on Wreck Camp staff with. I am actually doing senior design with people that have participated in this amazing program. Take that leap of faith and go to Wreck Camp! The only people that have regrets about Wreck Camp are the people that didn't go.
