Undergraduate students face many challenges while in school. The most common challenge is the amount of debt undergraduate students incur. Other challenges can be having to work while going to school, family duties, or relationship issues. Describe your personal challenges as an undergraduate student and how you overcame those challenges. The interviewer is looking to see what you view as a challenge and how you persevered.

"The biggest challenge I faced as an undergraduate student was the amount of debt I was incurring. My wife was also an undergraduate student, and between the two of us, we had an enormous amount of student debt. It wasn't easy during those four years to afford much. We had one car to save on money, so we had to get up early so I could drive my wife to school and make it to my classes on time. And, we both worked part-time, so there was a lot of juggling around to do. But, we stuck with it, both graduated, are paying our debt off, and can finally afford a second car. It was worth the sacrifices we made to be where we are today."
