As a current Lake State student, I can personally attest to how good LSSU's engineering and robotics program is. The university's small size allows you to truly get to know the faculty, and they're all super cool people and really willing to help when you need it.

I recently went to the AUTOMATE industrial robotics conference in Chicago to represent LSSU, and I was shocked at how many employees of big robotics companies recognized us and/or admitting to being an alumni! Companies like Staubli, Fanuc, Kuka, Universal Robotics, ABB, Comau, etc. There were Lakers everywhere! Even while we're here as students, we get emailed dozens of job opportunities and internships every year because these companies are seeking us out for the experience we get in our academic program...

Anyway, if you have any questions about Lake State, I'm certainly willing to answer.

For those you that are attending Virginia Tech next year or are interested in the school, feel free to private message me with any questions you might have. There are an incredible number of clubs and design teams include the TREC lab, the Unmanned Systems Lab, DREAMS lab, and a whole building dedicated to undergraduate research projects. Additionally, Tech has the largest engineering residence hall in the nation and the only one with a machine shop in the building.

I have applied for Ridgewater College and MN West Jackson. I plan on going for Computer Network Administration.

Someone please apply to Syracuse! Despite being ranked the #1 party school, we are also very highly ranked in many academic fields. 58th nationally by US World News, absolutely amazing financial aid, amazing resources for students, awesome entertainment, and free MakerSpaces for both STEM and non-STEM majors.

(I just need more robotics people so we can start a team! )

Ask me anything!

I know this isn't the intent of this thread but I'd like put a plug in for North Dakota State University! I'm the current Vice President of Bison Robotics. We are in the early stages of the club and are looking for enthused FIRSTers to help make it a success! If you're interested in helping spread STEM in the Upper Midwest then I urge you to look into NDSU! Join the STEMpede!

If you have any questions either PM me or email me at
