Similar situation, one of mine went to a lower tier engineering public university. Although it is known for engineering it is not the top school in it's state or in the country for that matter. Although it does have a beautiful engineering campus.

My friends all of them were appalled they still don't understand. You see my DD is extremely bright & social to the max she got into more elite engineering programs. Like MIT type.

There were many reasons my DD picked her school, Internships, jobs when graduating, course work yes even engineering programs differ.

She is now a CTO age 33. with a graduate degree as well.  She knew where she would be successful. I will be honest I did not agree at the time. But in our family, college is chosen by the student, not us parents.  Yes, even with us paying we did not interfere. Not my life, we taught our children to be independent and well it could have bitten us in the ass in this case, but it did not.

OP just make sure the school offers career help and internships. The goal for college is to get out and get a job or further education. Small schools do not always transfer to that making it hard to get a start. [/quote]
