[quote=Anonymous]My kid wants, and I quote, "cold and rainy" and is into STEM. Doing a lot of CS in high school, but not sure he wants to major in that. So, obviously we are thinking about Pacific Northwest schools, but I also can't see spending that much on a state school on the literal other side of the country. Yes. You would have access to internships at a lot of tech companies. But there are also a lot of tech companies with big offices/presences in other areas of the country (hello new giant Amazon complex). So, I admit that while I've heard of the school, there is nothing that really makes me want to look MORE at it. Maybe that's a mistake. Honestly, it seems like most of the top STEM schools on the West Coast are in CA and not Washington or Oregon....but I admit that I'm a Northeast person, so I'm not really up on it. My kid is only a Sophomore, so I'm just kind of looking around for him right now and asking him to think about the kinds of schools he wants, location, size, etc....[/quote]
