Hi there! My name is Shauryya. I am a transfer student at Trine. I like to play video games, watch movies and Netflix. I also like to play golf, basketball, and football (not the American football rugby thing, but the real thing 😄).

China Okoroafor

Country – Nigeria

Major – Chemical Engineering

Ndeewo, my name is Chinazam Okoroafor and I am a sophomore from Nigeria studying Chemical Engineering here at Trine! I’m an involved-on-campus student who loves meeting new people and helping make college transitions easy. Before and after my arrival to the US, I challenged myself to try something new, something different, and to get out of my comfort zone, and I am happy to say that the challenge was an awesome idea. By so doing, I have discovered new hobbies, cultures and perspectives, and I have improved my networking skills—something that I’ve learned is very beneficial to everyone.

Upasana Shrestha

Country – Nepal

Major – Biomedical Engineering

Languages – Hindi, Nepali, English, Sarcasm

My name is Upasana Shrestha but my friends call me Paso. As an international student, I have gone through (some of ) the same experiences you will go through. Only a year and a half ago, I gazed out the van wondering if I made the right decision.  After overcoming homesickness and initial adjustments, I can't imagine going anywhere else. I want to make your time here just as filled with fun, friendly and insightful as the past few years have been for me. 

Trine, like any other school has its own ups and downs, but we truly have the most amazing community. I can help with real answers to your questions about classes, what things you might want consider bringing, things you can do here, how to adjust, and clubs and social activities you can join, etc.!

If you have any questions, contact me.
