Revisiting is good, especially if you can talk to people in the programs of interest at each place. That’s what really clinched it for my s, talking to profs and students in the computer sci/eng programs. He just felt that VT had it all.

Any chance you can double major (gulp)? Good luck to you - it seems like you will be between a rock and a hard place. In that case, look to the creature comforts next (food and relaxation)! Make sure there is a satisfactory outlet for letting off steam, and I don’t mean partying. I find that my s and his so-called nerdy friends do quite well taking study breaks by throwing frisbees, playing pool, poker, and video games, and working out at the gym. Whatever works for you, make sure your school of choice has those kinds of options.

My s was pleased to find that VT’s student activities building was full of pool tables and bowling lanes, and, when he was there this past week, the drillfield was full of kids playing around. That’s the kind of “partying” he seems to prefer.

P.S. Love the “hand-wavy nonsensical statements”…lol, I know exactly what you mean!
