<p>The student body at R.P.I. is of the same class as Gtech, CMU, Cal Berkeley, UIUC, Michigan, etc. I found the academics there to be very challenging and would not recommend it as a place that is less rigorous than the top programs. It is a top program. </p>
<p>I don’t think any school outside of MIT/Caltech could have given me a better engineering education.</p>
