Being a graduate student at RPI has allowed me to become an interdisciplinary researcher. RPI culture promotes collaboration and teamwork which leads to an innovative and caring community. Advisors and staff at RPI are incredibly helpful and always available to discuss problems and help you find solutions. Along with its incredible researchers, RPI has state of the art facilities that are available to students to further their research. One of my favorite things about RPI is that there are plenty of places to explore in the cities of Albany and Troy. RPI is also near the Adirondacks for outdoor activities, and major cities like Boston and NYC being only a bus ride away.
