Mychal Berlinski learned that big classes weren’t for him.
He was studying engineering at another university where his smallest class had 50 students in it; his physics class was five times larger.
Mychal was struggling, but he didn’t want to give up his dream of being an engineer.
He visited Pitt-Bradford and learned about the new engineering technology degrees and the new engineering and information technologies building and liked what he saw.
After transferring to Pitt-Bradford, Mychal’s life changed dramatically.
“My 265-person lecture went to about a dozen kids,” he said. “This was more my speed.”
Now Mychal is thriving.
“I spend most of my time at this campus in this building,” he said, “whether I’m studying in one of the study rooms or working in the makerspace or machine shop. The space feels welcoming to students.”
