| My kid would like to go to a small school with engineering. He likes Rose Hulman, and Harvey Mudd. What are some other schools we should be looking at? |
| Union College |
| Olin College of Engineering |
| Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. It’s on the Hudson River with spectacular views of NYC. |
| Swarthmore, Olin, Bucknell, Cooper Union, Lafayette, Smith |
| Michigan Tech. It’s not for everyone, but man, it is nice up there in summer! |
| Sweet Briar |
|
Florida Institute of Technology. I graduated in the 90’s, but just met someone getting his phd from a Big Twelve school who recently graduated. We both talked about how much we loved the school. Small enough to feel like you are in a community, big enough to find your people. Professors still very accessible to the students.
And great weather and only 5 miles from the beach. |
| Embry Riddle |
| Our child is at Trinity (CT) for engineering. They applied to virtually all the schools listed so far, as well as WPI. One other school they considered (but opted not to apply to) is Colorado School of Mines. |
| Harvey Mudd for sure! Also check out Cooper Union. |
| Missouri University of Science and Technology |
|
Bucknell
Lafayette |
|
RPI
Solid engineering college with lots of options. |
