Experience at IUPUI: IUPUI has allowed me to make the most out of my college education. The small class sizes allow me to get to know my professors and peers. The professors are always willing to help with both schoolwork and advice on reaching my educational and professional goals. With the IU Medical School and the IU School of Dentistry on campus I am able to broaden my education in biomedical engineering by taking classes taught by professors associated with these schools. There are many organizations at IUPUI which allow me to get involved on campus. IUPUI has definitely given me a great start towards building my future professional career.
