[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Purdue and Cornell fall in the 'crush the soul and happiness category' due to coursework, grading and weather. [/quote]Do you actually have a kid at Cornell or Purdue whose soul is being crushed? I have a son in first year engineering (FYE) at Purdue right now and he couldn't be happier. His biggest 'crushing' complaints, in no particular order: the gym is too crowded at 5 PM, basketball tickets are tough to get, and the football team is bad. Is the coursework challenging? Absolutely. But it’s exactly what he expected when he signed up for a top-tier program. To each their own, but there’s a reason Purdue has the largest undergraduate engineering enrollment in the country. If your kid is looking for world-class engineering and a real Big Ten social life, it’s a hard combo to beat. [/quote]
