RPI worth the debt?

Echo all the positive comments about the past week’s orientation. Outstanding program for both parents and students (only wish we could have had at least one sunny day!) It looks like they’re keeping everyone occupied with lots of activities through the weekend. Our son quickly found several friends and was anxious to get us on our way on Tuesday - a little sad for us but we’re happy he’s happy. With a little planning over the summer, he was able to get all the classes he wanted- an enviable schedule of calc, chem., phys and econ – nothing before 10AM, nothing after 11:30 Friday and time for hockey. I spoke to Dr Jackson at the reception and found her to be gracious and engaging. She’s done quite a lot for the school over the past decade and I think things will only get better. The personal attention and staff engagement (especially Marie Dieffenbach in MANE) really give us confidence that this will be a great experience and well worth the investment. Can’t wait to go back on October 22 for Family Day.
