[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He wants to study electrical engineering.  He didn't like RIT because of the difficulty students report getting the required coops.  He didn't like RPI because he thought the location was bleak.  He didn't like Stevens because he knows someone who goes there who had difficulty making friends.  He's on the fence about Rose Hulman due to the location (he liked the school itself ok).

He did like Colorado School of Mines, but we are concerned that it is far.

I am not sure where else to look.  He has a 4.0 GPA and a 1480 SAT, does not want a big state school.  He won't get into Case Western.

He needs some other options besides WPI, which I agree is a solid choice.

Is he interested in EECS? Going west makes sense for jobs. On the east coast, most of the EECS type jobs are just operational IT which isn’t the same..if he’s good. There is some around Boston and a few around DoD adjacent groups but limited. He can also go west for grad school and then land a job in California.[/quote]
