Hey everyone! 

My name is Nicolas Lau and I am from Chicago, Illinois. I am currently a freshmen in Smeal College of Business hoping to major in finance or risk management. A lot of my friends question my decision to travel such a distance to Penn State, (for most of them attend UIUC) to which I respond by, “I want to go to a good school with a good football program.” A few of my passions include volleyball, biking, golf, and interacting with new people.

Like most people here, I am taking SC200 to fulfill my science requirement. Ever since taking AP chemistry in high school, I developed a terrible fear for science due to the readings and calculations needed. I have no intentions in majoring in science not because I do not find science interesting, but I dread the math that goes behind it. I am very interested by SC200 because of the interesting topics we are projected to cover.
