[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thank you again for all your kind replies. Forgot to mention that as we live in VA, VA-Tech would be in-state tuition rate while Purdue would be OOS, but hope is to receive some form of financial support which would at least partially bridge the gap. If the difference is around $5k per year and Purdue is considerably better, we could swing that....understanding that extra distance would also increase transportation expenses to/from Purdue. [/quote]Use of terms like “considerably better” or “much better” are way overdone here. Rankings are ordinal, not interval. Purdue is not objectively “considerably better” than Virginia Tech for engineering. It could be subjectively better for your kid. But the same could apply to most any other school too.[/quote] Not true. Purdue is considerably better. Are you a practicing engineer? Do you hire engineers? Engineering has tiers and Purdue is in a tier above VT. [/quote]
