<p>I wouldn’t consider Clarkson unless your son plans to work in Nebraska where Clarkson will be known or go to a graduate school with a national reputation. (And if your son wants to work in Nebraska it might be prudent to go to a community college and transfer to the University of Nebraska). </p>
<p>WPI has a solid engineering and actuarial science reputation on the east coast (the career fair attracts the big firms that you’d expect). But it is probably not a great option for law/medical school. WPI has sents grads to a few T14 law schools, but to my knowledge it has not sent any to Harvard/Stanford/Yale law. The WPI plan might hurt student’s chances at graduate school, but I am unable to confirm whether this is the case or not. </p>

<p>About half of the students live off campus. As a freshman you’ll live in a residence hall, but as a sophomore you’ll choose between a fraternity/sorority house, an off campus apartment, and an upperclassmen residence hall. If you’re not picky (i.e, you don’t need to live with a specific group of people), it is not difficult to get on campus housing. </p>

<p>Quite well, I’d imagine :)</p>
