[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about VCU? Pitt? Penn state?[/quote]
Pitt and Penn are not easy to get into.  They are probably harder than UDel.[/quote]

I went to Penn State and transferred to Pitt.  Did not like the isolated, homogenous feel of PSU.  It was not liberal artsy at all (Pitt is).

Given all that, I'd be willing to spend a year at a Pitt branch campus to get a shot at transferring cleanly to Pitt.  Pitt Johnstown maybe?

My family just looked at Drexel.  It reminded me a bit of Pitt. I think it's more expensive though.[/quote]

I read that Drexel is doing terribly, financially. [/quote]

PP.  That may be true.  But it's a big school so they can probably recover or get bailed out.  And they have an interesting practical experience focus.  The facilities seemed in good shape when we were there.

Pitt had to be bailed out in the 1960s or so...originally it was fully private.

Many schools are financially vulnerable now.  I worry about the small ones.  Not enough alumni and continued shrinking could cause a death spiral.  My kid I took to Drexel actually wants to go to a school like that.  [/quote]
