[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay on topic! OP has asked for names of schools that are less intense for engineering, not a UM/Purdue grudge match! Give him or her less intense engineering schools!

List:
U Denver
Drexel
RIT
Maybe Lehigh but hear it's still tough and a little isolated
U of Florida
LMU or maybe U San Diego
U of Arizona

Here's the thing - not 100% of the time but at least sometimes if you go to a small school there are fewer research opportunities and fewer professors to network, and likely fewer sub-specialties to explore. That is why I though of Florida or maybe some other school with some size, good weather and school spirit to help mitigate some of the white-knuckle feelings you mention. The work will be hard anywhere, but maybe this helps.

PP, you are correct. Not Lehigh. They pride themselves on their rigor. Your kid has to be ok with tests where the class average is 30/100, and has to tolerate having some Ds. They like to make the students work ridiculously hard. I will say first jobs are easy after Lehigh, and employers know that. [/quote]
