Incoming Freshman

At the moment I’m currently working at a shipyard as a welder to gain some work experience, and after a year or so here, I want to apply to NAU for an engineering degree. NAU was my first option before I chose to go to a trade school and I thought I’d further my education. I wanted to ask the people of this subreddit about the communities, the campus, how well the programs are there, and any tips to help me out through my experience there.
