Just back from moving in my DS at the small school that he fell in love with. At 5k total grad and undergrad enrollment it is not your typical engineering program but he is clearly so comfortable there. He got in to far more “prestigious” and larger schools but I am so glad he went with his gut and chose the school that felt right to him. I believe that students thrive where they are also at ease. Don’t get caught up in the hype of “larger is better” if it does not feel right.
