pat2008 - My daughter will major in chemistry at RPI. My comments were strictly relating to the cost and my general impressions of the schools. In my daughter’s college search we visited Stony Brook, RPI and UConn…amongst many other schools. Of the three my daughter liked RPI the best, for no particular reason did not especially like UConn and she really liked Stony Brook. We definitely had a good impression of the science program and opportunities for research at Stony Brook.

She will attend RPI because a choice had to be made and RPI offered her a decent scholarship.

As for UMass Amherst – my older brother earned his Masters there — many years ago and really liked it and has lived in Massachusetts for over 30 years.

Sounds like you have a tough decision to make. Good luck.
