<p>kmcmom,</p>
<p>Good questions. My son has not mentioned engineering but with this kid, never say never. He really loves pure math and he’s been studying college level physics for 3 years but does seem to be leaning towards math. What he said he likes:</p>
<p>*Strong Christian support
*wants kids at college who love to learn
*good dorms (not sure what that means)
*music scene-people who care about music-seeing concerts, playing in a symphony or small groups (chamber, jazz, worship)
*either a very selective school or one with graduate classes in math and physics since he’s taking the hardest u/g physics class at the local state univ. right now
*interesting, engaging professors
*interesting class selection</p>
<p>Doesn’t want:
*impersonal
*too much partying, too much drinking
*too liberal
*overly hot or humid
*too large campus</p>
<p>Schools he didn’t like for whatever reason: U of C, Johns Hopkins (went there in 8th grade so maybe he’d reconsider)</p>
