[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP - DC didn’t want to go to UMD because we live very close to it and they wanted to get farther from home. Major will be in engineering (EE, CE or ME).

We have visited or are scheduled to visit all the campuses - I know the schools have very different vibes. I’m purely asking about reputation of the schools and their perceived value.[/quote]

Why are you placing “perceived value” higher than where your kid feels most comfortable? That is so bizarre and backwards.[/quote]

I’m not and I didn’t say I was. I can source that information from my kid. But I can’t assess how other people perceive the reputations of the schools without asking. To be clear, I’m not asking folks to tell us which school to choose, just how would they think about the reputation of Va Tech compared to the other schools. Because if DC ends up liking one of the other schools just as much as Va Tech, and there’s no real reputational boost from Va Tech, then that helps the decision immensely.

Sorry if this isn’t making sense - before starting this process with DC, I had never even heard of these schools, other than Va Tech. I’m a humanities major. Learning about STEM education and careers has been interesting.[/quote]
