If BU is full ticket, I’d drop that from the list. As others have said, co-op is very beneficial. At RPI you could get leads for summer jobs or semester co-op, but the’d only be 3 months. Many employers and students prefer a longer, 5 to 6 month assignment.

Often co-op is touted for improved job prospects (true). But another advantage is the chance to test drive up to three different jobs/companies.)

Having said all that, there are still some students that would prefer to be at STEM school like RPI. Good luck deciding - you have great choices.
