[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did not like RPI. On paper it checked all our boxes, but DC was really turned off by the campus (and Troy).

Really liked Clarkson. One of the best, most welcoming tours and the students were so friendly -- DC was invited to dinner and ended up spending the whole evening with one of the tour guides. Wasn't a top choice because of location, but it came close.

Really liked WPI, despite Worcester not being the nicest city. Strong campus feel and the IQP and ability to go abroad is really unique among engineering schools.[/quote]

Funny we felt the same way about RPI (such an unhappy feeling campus) and WPI (one of DC’s top choices). Didn’t visit Clarkson bc of the location.

Other unexpected impressions:

Loved RIT. Such a happy seeming campus. Felt like STEM heaven.

Liked Lafayette. Great vibe there. Excellent tour guide.

Hated U of Rochester. Depressing and dark inside the buildings.

Did not like Bucknell. Those of us on the tour were mystified by how completely dead the campus was. To the point where we asked if the school was on a break. It wasn’t.

Also hated Stevens Institute of Tech. This one was disappointing as it seemed like a good possibility on paper. Felt grimey and rundown. Low energy. Left the tour before it ended.
