College
Life
Rocks
Hello, and welcome to my Michigan Tech page. Michigan Tech is a great college, and well known around the country and the world as one of the best engineering schools. I love it here, just love the life, the school, the area, and the people. I've wanted to go to Michigan Tech all my life and now my goal is being realized. Not only is it a great school, but college life itself rocks so I'm having the time of my life. Whenever I leave I can't wait till I get back. If I could stay in college forever I would, its the best. I love my job there too, I work for SAS, system administration services, we basically keep all the computers in the administration building running, fix, troubleshoot, and install new computers. Anyway, what else can I say. Well this school is relatively small and in the middle of nowhere so we have our weird little sides and distictive things, you'd have to be there to understand, the MTU-per Yak link below talks about a few. And speaking of weird things, we have our excentric and sometimes strange CS majors who are always interesting...but I'm not one of those people...no not me. But everyone is friendly and most everyone knows everyone so its a great little community. I'm doing pretty good grades-wise and having fun in my CS classes, but the dreaded Calculus tried to bring me down. I failed it first term, but then I got the hang of it and passed. College can be quite a shock after getting a 3.99 GPA in high school without doing any work at all. I'm getting a 3.10 GPA cummulative overall after my second year. Not bad after having a 2.05 or something like that my first term. In total I'll probably end up going for 5 years at Tech, most students here have to, and basically I just want to cuz I don't wanna ever leave. :o)
Where in the heck is Michigan Tech?
Michigan Tech resides in Houghton MI, way up north near the top of Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the Keewinaw Peninsula. As you can see on the map its nowhere near any big cities, just in the middle of nowhere. So theres no stores to buy stuff and nothing to do. Weather up here is interesting, true four seasons. Spring, summer, beautiful colored trees in the fall, and cold harsh snowy winter, with tons and tons of snow. But none of all that bothers me, I've lived in the U.P. all my life.
