<p>My D is accepted at Bradley University, U of Dayton and Virginia Tech for mechanical engineering. Merit aid renders cost about the same for each school. We have visited both Bradley and Dayton and are going to VA Tech next weekend. Any advantage to choosing one of the more regional, medium sized, private schools over large public? Any advice? She is completely undecided at this point.</p>
<p>Ask about internship possibilities. UD has a research institute that regularly works with the AF Research Labs.</p>
