Whether you are looking for career advice, help with classes or advising or want to meet a group of Broncos engineers, you have access to opportunities to fill your needs. I have friends who go to one of the bigger schools in the state, and they have big lecture halls with probably hundreds of students. Here at Western, we still have classes with a lot of people, but they're more condensed and professors are more willing to reach out to individual students. —Mey Wong, B.S.'22
