[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]RPI is a depressing environment and a slog of a college experience,[/b] but students get an amazing engineering education and are sought after at most prestigious engineering employers. [/quote] It was nearly 40 years ago, but I had the same experience at WPI. Just didn't like the environment of an engineering school, and Worcester was no great place (though maybe arguably better then Troy.) I lasted a year. Transferred to a state university. Dropped engineering but remained in STEM. Maybe should have stuck with engineering, because I did well in the prerequisite classes. And now I make a mediocre salary lower than what I probably would have made with an engineering degree in a job that is likeable but not loveable to me. I wish I had had Virginia Tech as an option. A good engineering program within a larger, diverse college community. And a cool little college town.[/quote]
