Mitchell Roell '21
"Point Park was the best option for me. They had electrical engineering, which I wanted to study all during high school, and they had a lot more to offer. Since I lived in the Pittsburgh area, I was able to commute while also continuing to work part time. I was also able to play soccer against some of the best teams at the college level. Both of my parents are Point Park alumni, and, for me, it was an easy decision."
