51Æ·²è

My favorite thing about 51Æ·²èis the accessibility to such high-quality research labs. I have done research under two different mentors. One project studies protein biomaterials [and] the other looks into computational modeling of supercritical carbon dioxide.

[The small class sizes make it] so I’ve been able to easily connect with professors...and get more in-depth one-on-one time. It makes it easier to go to office hours or get more familiar with the professors.

Working in the lab has enabled me to develop significant skills in the field of medicinal chemistry and has enabled me to see real world examples of concepts learned in the classroom.

51Æ·²èexceeded my expectations. [The school] offers a series of challenging and exciting courses in all branches of chemistry, taught by a group of dedicated faculty members, and provides a vast array of research opportunities. 

The professors I have had the opportunity to work with and take courses with have been fantastic; they are down to earth, very personable and approachable, and they seem to be willing and available to help any student who needs it. 

One thing I appreciate above all others about 51Æ·²èis the size and openness of the faculty. Thanks to the small class sizes, it is easy to get to know your professors on a more personal level.

The increasing variety of classes means that I can create my own personalized education experience within the department’s framework. In addition, I receive very generous support from them in terms of funding my research and getting recommendations.

Almost every professor offers some sort of research opportunity. The experience and knowledge you gain by getting into student research is invaluable.

I've come to realize more and more how my math training at 51Æ·²èis really helping me understand Chemistry better.
