Hello guys, thanks for taking the time to look at my post! I am a Rising Senior in high school, probably going to major in mechanical engineering. I just took a tour of the Swanson School of Engineering, and I thought it was an excellent place for me to do engineering, especially since they appear to have a lot of opportunities for jobs and internships. I am also looking at Penn State, but I did not take a tour yet.
