Roderick-
My sons lack of interest in RPI started in middle school–he thought that many of the buildings had not been updated the way they should for a tech school. I did make him go back for a tour before we did college apps because it is within 3 hours of our home and he is (a little) more mature now.
What he noticed this time was the city (Troy) and how depressed it was around the college. We heard a few stories about safety that worried us as well.
From what I know the academics are wonderful . But he just didn’t feel comfortable on campus.
We have heard great stories about campus safety at Rose and that really does mean a lot.
