Washington University is a classical and prestigious school for me to judge at first sight--huge, old building, and a good outline of campus. The reason for being there on New year eve is because I went to an intensive engineering program (I will elaborate it later) in WU and I just hope to figure out whether engineering is a suitable field for me to go further in terms of my furture career and my path to success. In general, I like this program, the class, the professor and the electrical circuit thing, not because I have learned part of the knowledge in high school but I feel satisfied with being smart in class. I know it sounds silly.
This program is called J-Term(January Intensive Term). J-term offers an opportunity for undergraduate who are interested in engeering to explore indtroductory engineering courses in special 11-day intensive format.It is also a chance of getting a head start at buidling connections and community before enrolling as Dual Degree engineering students. Students will stay in hotel and the program will have transportation to send in and drive back. The courses include CSE 200(Engineering and Scientific Computing) or ESE230(Introdution to Electrical&Electronic Circuits) and it depends on the class which one to take. Here is a link:

Honestly, I enjoyed this program a lot in general, most because of the people who I was taking course with. All of us are from different colleges and we are very special and unique individuals--It is funny how we get along well with each other for me to think regarding psychology side.
In addition, at some point, I give myself enough time to think about what I will do in the near future, where I want to go and what to achieve. Life is tough but we should not rush ourselves by others' doing, thinking and judjing. Have we ever thought about that this life is ours and no one can take it in personal?
Washington University in St.Louis and St.Louis. End of story.
