<p>I am really considering going to NU, where I was accepted as an engineering undergrad. However, I wish to pursue a fairly intense focus on sustainability, renewable energy/technology, and was wondering how easy this would be to accomplish at NU. Are there any specific classes that I can take (in any college) that focus on renewable energy technology and its creation? Are there any types of certificates that I can receive that focus on sustainability? Are there undergrad research opportunities that relate to sustainability? </p>

<p>Any help is appreciated, thanks!</p>

<p>Does anyone have any personal responses to my question, including individual experiences with sustainability at NU?</p>
