Clarkson was the university where I wanted to do my MS because I knew all the doors of opportunities that it would open for me for my future. 然而, I did not know or expect that it would not only open doors, but an entire house of possibilities and opportunities. I am so glad that I have highly qualified professors that care about my development as a student, as a professional and also as a person. Having this support was a key point for my development and achievements in my master's program. 也, through the classes I could develop different skills, and worked with simulations and software, which were important for my professional development.
