My DD is interested in ME/Mechatronics/Robotics but I think she would be better suited at a school that has a more liberal arts side to it, given her interest in writing alos. Not that any of those schools that I listed are exactly liberal arts colleges, but FWIU in a school like Rochester there is a great deal of interaction between sciences and non-sciences. WPI is a tech school but there is a liberal arts undercurrent there.
I get a bit concerned that the larger the university the more siloed the various schools and departments become.
