How important is engineering undergraduate school name recognition?

<p>Good to know. Thanks so much. It’s so valuable to hear words of advice and encouragement from those who have been there! eyemgh, we considered Colorado State as they seemed to have a nice engineering program, but our son loves tennis and they don’t even have a club team at Colorado State. Sorry for my ignorance, what is RPI and WPI? Thanks! Colorado_mom, sounds like you known a ton of great engineering programs. Are there some specific ones you would recommend? He’s looking to play club tennis, would like a school with a decent football team, is fairly sure he’d like to join a social frat, and most importantly would like a school with a wide variety of engineering majors since he loves math and science but isn’t set on a specific major at this time. Thanks!</p>
