There are some stellar students, diligent students, tenacious students who will do well anywhere. There are some that are going fail anywhere because they just don’t have the frame of mind to do what is needed to get through an engineering program.

Those two categories are set. But there are those students for whom the environment can make a difference. They may not be sufficiently prepared to jump into a program where nearly everyone has already taken BC Calc and done summer courses geared towards engineering majors. A large school environment might be hostile to them, the wrong small school environment might throw them for a loop

These are the years when mental health demons, emotional triggers really can reek havoc on young people, and going away to college, rigorous academic Half he’s can take their toll

You can’t measure all of these factors, but I can see when schools are turning kids with 500-650 math SATs, 3.0 students from high school, into engineers
