What made you decide to attend Washington State University? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose mechanical engineering because my lifelong dream is to one day go to space. I felt that the best way to do so was by coming the WSU, because of the reputation of their engineering program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-font-size--large\">How have you benefitted by attending WSU?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have benefited dramatically by choosing Washington State University. I have made lifelong friends and I have made many connections with some important people in my field and other engineers in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-font-size--large\">What advice do you have for fellow or prospective students? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My greatest advice to anybody trying to major in the STEM field would definitely be to talk to the people around you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I realized my freshman year that the person sitting next to you in your class can become a lifelong friend that you know will always be there. You never know how much commonalities you have with so many different kinds of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-font-size--large\">What has been your favorite program that you\u2019ve been involved with at WSU?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite program I have been involved with would definitely be <a href=\"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/stars\/\">STARS<\/a> and TMP, I have learned and grown so much as a person, student, and mentor that I hope to continue something similar to this after my education here at WSU comes to an end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jose G.
