“The material covered in LSSU's engineering program provided me a solid foundation for graduate studies. The systematic approach and communication skills needed to tackle engineering projects were taught and then practiced over and over again. In particular I appreciate the many hours spent by the faculty to develop oral presentation skills in each student. As a graduate student now, these skills have proven to be highly beneficial and, to my surprise, obviously not taught to the same extent at many other universities.”

New Student Issues

Students preparing to dive into college for the first time may have a lot of things on their minds this summer, such as:

  • Feeling sad about leaving established friends and family at home
  • Concern about issues of “belonging” and finding a comfortable place on campus
  • Excitement coupled with anxiety about making a fresh start
  • Worry about academics being “hard” and beyond their abilities
  • Thinking about what type of first impression they’ll make
  • Concern about roommates and housing (if living on campus)
  • Wondering what to pack and what to leave at home since space will be limited
  • Possibly transitioning into a long-distance relationship or deciding to end a current relationship
  • Financial worries—wondering if they’ll be able to make enough during the summer and also how much they’ll need to work once school begins
  • What to expect during orientation and what questions to ask so they’ll be prepared for the fall semester

"I've been accepted to Montana Tech's graduate school to pursue a master's degree in geophysical engineering. I have also accepted a full-funded graduate research assistantship to work with the Montana National Guard on developing magnetic techniques to detect unexploded ordinance. My summer internship with Geolex, a company under contract with the Guard, will study acquiring data, performing analysis, and offering interpretation on unexploded ordinance." [ more ]
