To some kids all classes come easy. Maybe it was that kid
I’m an SU alum. The hardest thing I had to do was to walk up 143 stairs to Flint Hall 5x a day. Wasn’t a hard school but I had a joke major (journalism) and it was 30+ years ago.
I’m sure all 3 will sufficiently prep him. They all have successes in the workplace. And all three have many other majors should he want to pivot.
You are making this about you. You don’t want to but read your words. You are ok with whoever he chooses of the three as long as it is Purdue.
I wish my kid chose Purdue. Wish he applied to Honors there. But it was his life, his choices, they didn’t cost me more (in fact cost me less) and I had to run with it.
SU campus wise is much more compact.
It’s a good choice. More importantly it’s his choice.
Send him to Purdue and if it doesn’t work out, you have to deal with the consequences. At Syracuse he has to. He chose it.
One might ask why we’re SU and Mizzou on the initial list but they were. And he likes one of his three finalists best.
Let me ask you this ? Was Purdue a finalist ? Or mom/dad forced it to be a finalist ?
SU has very good stats. Compare them to Purdue. By shear $ they are comparable.
Best of luck on your journey.
