iFoundry

I knew that in college, I would be afforded many opportunities that I would not get elsewhere. I knew that I would get to meet and make many new friends. I knew that I would get the opportunity to travel and study abroad to get a different global perspective. I knew that I would be getting a world-class engineering education. I knew that I would be able to join clubs and organizations that would help me be a more complete person, and learn things that my classes wouldn’t teach me. I knew that when I would leave college, I would be a different man.
It was that mentality to try new and different things that made me want to apply to iFoundry. It was billed as a fresh new engineering curriculum that would let students get a different perspective on their engineering education.
At first, I was really excited about everything iFoundry could add to my education. However, after a few weeks of ENG 198 class, the Wednesday iCommunity gatherings, and some of my friends quitting, I started becoming skeptical of where iFoundry was headed. I was seriously considering dropping it, because of its time commitment and the fact that our iTeam was not making any significant process in any direction.
But looking back, I am glad that I stuck with iFoundry. Some of the networking that it has provided me, the things that I have learned from the lectures and the books, and the opportunities that it has given me are simply amazing. And I can’t wait for what iFoundry has in store for me in the near future and for the next three and a half years.
