[quote=Anonymous]UVA is not great for engineering, VT is better.  For smaller schools, agree with many suggestions above but don’t know what would appeal to your kid  - Lafayette (more well rounded kids then some of the other suggestions), Olin (quirky vibe and will be a reach), WPI (heavy STEM but interestingly has a PE requirement), Rose Hulman (very STEM focused with what seemed like a lot of ADHD or kids on the spectrum) and Union (heavily Greek) .  Other suggestions with strong engineering programs some of which may be a tad larger than you indicated but worth looking into -  Bucknell (yes it has a bit of a bro vibe), Santa Clara (well rounded, fabulous facilities and school spirit), Gonzaga (easier to get into version of Santa Clara in a harder to get to location), CU Boulder (it’s Engineering campus is separate and makes it feel a lot smaller), Colorado School of the Mines (it’s unique and very hands on), and Trinity (mainstream and growing engineering program).  You want an ABET accredited school, avoid schools with just a general engineering degree and watch those 3-1 or 3-2 combo schools (awful to stick with)[/quote]
