[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew did Mech Eng at UTK and seems to have emerged with his soul intact. He had very high test scores (turns out that + living in rural Tennessee will get you a call from MIT) but wanted to stay close to home. That would be my general advice, to aim for a school where your kid is academically overqualified. You might also look at schools like Rose Hulman or Lafayette which I think have a more supportive reputation. Or Olin, which I think is very team/project based and collaborative. [/quote] I have a senior at Tenn in engineering from the DMV. He is so happy there. He has friends in the engineering program from many states. Living in the engineering dorm as a freshman was really valuable for getting to know the other kids... I'd recommend that for the OP to encourage when the time comes. Many schools have LLCs in the dorms based on your major. [/quote]
