Ours was the same. Tech school culture is…really unappealing.[/quote]

They are not Tech schools they are colleges that are really good in stem and engineering. Most offer many other degrees. How is that unappealing to you?[/quote]
A lot are tech schools and have a certain personality and “type” where certain students thrive. I was a math and physics double major who went to a liberal arts college before going to a grad school at a well known institute for stem. The personalities of the faculty and students I worked with would’ve driven me out of stem in undergrad.

There are many schools good at STEM subjects, and the kid is interested in math- not computer engineering, where it’s necessary to go to an engineering college.[/quote]

Please don't compare your grad school to an undergrad college experience no matter the major. My kid is a freshman at a top engineering school, rushed a fraternity last semester, went to football games, parties, made tons of friends and is absolutely enjoying the complete college experience.

That has nothing to do with my comment, but good for your kid! I TA'd undergraduate students, and it's pretty difficult not to see undergraduate life when they're surrounding you.[/quote]

Different than actually living as an undergrad  Also, sounds like it has more to do with that particular school. [/quote]
