Thanks, all! I appreciate your feedback.

A few replies…

All 13 schools that offer Mining Engineering are already on our radar.

We are considering York College - it’s only 2 hours from us, and definitely on the list.

Western Carolina has been considered - it’s very reasonable, and I really like it, but he thinks it’s too remote. We really should go visit it and see what he thinks.

If he wants to pursue mining engineering, we will absolutely support him in that. But… it’s only August, and he doesn’t have to commit to a school until May. If he changes his mind during the school year(possibly based on how he finds calc & AP physics), then I want him to have options of schools outside those with the mining engineering major. I don’t want to limit the schools he applies to to just those 13 - because if he changes his mind before May, he would then be severely limited in his choices. We’ve met with the department head of Engineering Technology for Ohio University, and the major is very interesting to him as an alternative to mining.

We are very aware of WVU’s budget cuts. It is very worrying.

Farleigh Dickinson looks interesting! Thanks for the suggestion

General desires: larger school, good school spirit, not a suitcase school, preferably within driving distance from NJ. Not in a city.
