[quote=Anonymous]First, I recognize engineering is hard anywhere. Lots of math and coursework generally that is difficult for most students.

That being said, can any of you discuss colleges your engineering student attended that were not the top schools or not the stress factories that others might have been?

Example:

Top schools might be MIT, Caltech or something like that (please no school comparisons). Then there are the Michigans, GA Tech, and maybe after Purdue, VA Tech, etc.

I am looking for schools below these that are not as much of a wringer. Again I know engineering will be hard anywhere. Hard work is one thing, but white knuckle environments are another matter.

Hope this description helps. My student has As and Bs in all his STEM classes and several APs, I just would like to see if we can focus on colleges where he might be the 50th percentile or higher if that makes sense. Thank you.

P.S. Bonus points if you may have even worked with your student to help them "back off" from the top schools to others and can relate that experience.[/quote]
