My name: Chris Erickson

My hometown: Little Falls, NJ

My high school: Passaic Valley (Little Falls, NJ)

My Major: Applied Physics/Applied Math minor

My hobbies/interests: Video games, sewing, latchhook kits

My favorite movie: The Star Wars Trilogy!

Why I came to NJIT: Small campus, location (close to NYC!)

Clubs, groups I belong to: Society of Physics Students

What I love most about NJIT: It’s small enough to not get swallowed up in the crowd but large enough that there’s many opportunities around.

My advice to you as a first year student: Speak out!  Whether it’s asking for help on your calc homework or if a professor has a opening for undergrad research, it’s a great way to help you be the best you can while here!
