@Ultramarine777 My son committed to Syracuse last weekend. If it wasn’t for the amazing aid package he would have chosen Buffalo or Rutgers. Their package brought the schools he was seriously considering within the same price range. That said, I tried not to get too fixated on the rankings. As someone posted early, all his schools are ABET accredited so the curriculum will be similar. With the exception of Penn State, I was comfortable that Buffalo, Rutgers, and Syracuse were close in rank for what it’s worth. Both my son and I cared more about the specific learning environments, projects, internships, co-ops, and employer/employment opportunities their graduates were landing. In fact, we met with a few students from each of the schools he was considering to get their take on the school and programs. Found them on LinkedIn and was the best thing I did.
