[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has been accepted to VT. We are OOS and DC does not want to attend our in-state school (UMD), which we’re fine with. DC is deciding between VT, Case Western, Drexel, RIT and WPI. They got merit aid at all of the private schools that brings the cost below VT by about 10-15k per year.

I don’t know much about engineering schools, but VT seems to have the best rep among these. But is the rep worth the extra cost? We can afford it - no loans involved - but I’m questioning whether there’s any extra value in the VT reputation for engineering if DC would be equally happy at one of the other schools.[/quote]if your child got into UMD, and you are in state, you should accept, take your money and run! I know VT well and it is not is once was. It is an extremely depressing place from November to March. UMD kids are getting good jobs at high salaries. Join the parent groups and you will see a lot the VT kids who are having big issues.[/quote]

We did not apply to UMD. We live adjacent to College Park, so I completely understand why DC didn’t want to go there.

What are the parent groups? Are they on Facebook?[/quote]
