<p>I’m going to beg to differ a bit. The south isn’t as conservative as you think and you should look specifically at the aerospace programs. For my son, we looked at Duke, WashU, Rice - all small with good engineering programs but not specifically aerospace. He chose to go to Georgia Tech because of it’s strong program. It’s not as big as you think, much smaller than the typical state university. A little guy heavy but it’s in downtown Atlanta and near several other universities. The program is rigorous but worth it.</p>
