RPI has an excellent reputation, based on faculty, research, and strength of student body, presumably, but what distinguishes the undergraduate experience compared to other tech-focused schools in the region? WPI emphasizes collaboration and project-based learning, Stevens emphasizes coop, as do larger places like Drexel and Northeastern. I am guessing employers might look more favorably on RPI, but what is the flavor of the place? Does it research opportunities, good lab experiences. . .?
