Name: Rebeca Perez
Hometown: Queens, New York
Major: BS in Architectural Engineering
Year: Sophomore
I grew up in Queens, New York and moved to Denver when I was 11 years old. I had never thought about engineering until I was applying for college because as a kid my biggest passion was art. As I progressed throughout high school, I began to realize that I really enjoyed problemÌýsolving and being challenged to think critically and that is when I decided to explore my options in engineering.
When I found out about the Architectural EngineeringÌýprogram at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder I knew I had found the major I wanted to pursue because it was the perfect mix of creativity and applied thinking.
Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder offered the right learning environment and experiences for me and the sense of community that I sought for in college.
I am entering my second year as an architectural engineering student at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder, and I have experienced so much growth and love within my major already.
The professors and students create an atmosphereÌýthat makes you feel equipped to push yourself academically and mentally. I can confidently say I made the right decision making a home here!
