	Rocio // Architecture "I decided to study design at NC State because of the great architecture program the College of Design has to offer. When I attended Design Camp in high school, I fell in love with the program and people. All the teachers and students were so welcoming that made me feel like I am part of a big family. My passion for design and architecture is similar to what other students' experience. There are five different concentrations within this college that not many other universities offer. This advantage allows students to get inspired within a creative community."
	Kiley // Industrial Design "I wanted to pursue a career in design since I was a child. I cannot remember a time where I was not drawing, painting, or crafting. In high school, I took a second level art class and knew from that point on that design was what I wanted to do. When I applied to the College of Design, I thought I had no chance of being accepted. I came to visit NC State and fell in love with the college, faculty, and students. I knew that in the end, College of Design was where I belonged."
	Chelsea // Graphic Design "So many experiences and factors in my life have added up and led to my decision to study design. Coming to NC State I was unsure of what to major in. While searching for “the perfect major” I was fortunate enough to discover graphic design, and everything fell into place. Design has become more than just a major and more of a life purpose. I am happiest when I’m creating and what better way to spend my time than to create meaningful work to improve people’s lives. I design in order to bring awareness and promote change in a sustainable manner. Design is a cycle that continues to give back."
	Drew // Industrial Design "I chose the College of Design for several reasons but largely because of my keen interest in being creative and coming up with new ideas. Before attending Design Camp I was unaware of the options within the design field, specifically Industrial Design. This peaked my interest and ever since I knew that this is what I wanted to do as a professional career. After taking several visits to NC State College of Design I was able to feel a sense of community among students and professionals that is rarely seen in the university setting. I knew this was the place for me and if accepted, there would be no way to turn it down. It is not very often that someone can say they are doing what they love as a career and I feel that design will provide this for me. Although a steady challenge, I have loved every minute of it and would not change my education for anything."
