These two schools are also my son’s favorites–hasn’t made his decision (they both have admitted student visit opportunities next weekend, he’s chosen to visit Lafayette, since Villanova is his slight preference and he wants to take a closer look.

Both look like excellent undergraduate engineering schools. Villanova has a somewhat preferable location: Lafayette promises all the benefits of the small class LAC environment. Both campuses are very nice–Lafayette has a somewhat preppy flavor, Villanove has the Catholic school overlay of service and faith. I’m eager to hear any insights you learn or others care to share on how best to distinguish these fine schools.
