Elise Buzzel, BS in Computer Science major

The faculty in Michigan Tech's College of Computing exceeded my expectations. Each faculty member I have met has been supportive, even if it was my first time meeting them. It's intimidating to go into a computing field, but the faculty have instilled a confidence in me that I didn't even know was possible.
