Tyler McIntosh has “kept an open mind” throughout his college experience, from taking up mountain biking as a hobby to trying intramural sports. He advises incoming students to make their own memories at Pacific.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

College can be unpredictable. When faced with adversity, how do you respond? I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Tyler McIntosh, an engineering management student<\/a> set to graduate this spring, about his time at Pacific and his advice for incoming students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try new things<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like most of us, Tyler\u2019s college experience was not exactly what he expected. His first-year self would be shocked to know he would move back home, attend classes via Zoom and try mountain biking during his undergraduate years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI got into it during COVID,\u201d Tyler explained. \u201cBuying the bikes and the equipment was the most impulsive thing I\u2019ve ever done. It\u2019s also a good way to stay in shape and it\u2019s nice to be out in nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A trip to the outlets in Livermore led Tyler to purchase random mountain biking equipment that he found on sale. He later realized he needed to buy an actual bike, too. So he bought six. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyler did not let hypotheticals hold him back from trying something different. He took advantage of the free time gained from the pandemic and attempted a sport he never would have thought of trying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyler’s favorite spot is Pleasanton Ridge. “It’s a steep climb, but it’s well worth the effort on the way back down,” Tyler explained. A little over an hour away from campus, the park is perfect for hikers and equestrians too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep an open mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Without a doubt, college is an intimidating place, especially for an incoming freshman. It can be overwhelming trying to decide which clubs to join or which major to choose. But Tyler believes you shouldn\u2019t let fear of failure or becoming stuck in something you dislike prevent you from finding your passion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would definitely say to keep an open mind when picking their concentration,\u201d Tyler advises. \u201cYou get exposed to a variety of different programs, and it\u2019s really easy to switch if you find one you really like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyler\u2019s advice to incoming engineering management students can be applied to all aspects of college and life: keep an open mind. There are many opportunities for you to take advantage of, and it\u2019s up to you to do so. Step out of your comfort zone and take the risk. Apply for the on-campus job on Handshake or take a class in a subject that interests you, even if it\u2019s not your major. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make memories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From sports to job fairs, University of the Pacific has many resources. Now that he\u2019s a senior, Tyler wishes he had been more involved in school organizations and clubs<\/a> throughout college. He had a great experience as a member of Pacific\u2019s club soccer team during his freshman year, and he wishes he\u2019d joined others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIntramural sports were really fun. I did soccer, both indoor and outdoor,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019d only know two or three people on the team, so I would leave with a lot of new friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduating this spring, Tyler will take the year off to work and prepare for the LSAT. He plans to attend law school to become an intellectual property attorney. Tyler says he will cherish the friendships he\u2019s formed and memories he\u2019s made at Pacific and encourages new students to get outside their comfort zones and make their own memories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rapid fire questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite restaurant in Stockton?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luu\u2019s Chicken Bowl and Midnight at Burnie\u2019s Drive-Up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the best place to study on campus?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Library<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite food on campus?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicken tenders and fries from The Lair<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who\u2019s your favorite professor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Luke Lee, Professor of Civil Engineering<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did you do for spring break?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trip to Kauai!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
