Student to Faculty Ratio

As you get to be a junior or senior, you'll start to see the material from your freshman or sophomore year being applied in other courses. I found it rewarding to finish a course or apply a previous concept to a new course. Since graduation, I have most enjoyed research to develop solutions to current water quality problems.
