My son just graduated with an engineering degree. Originally considered it for the full-tuition+ scholarship, but chose it over Penn State full pay in state and a few privates that were in the same range as PSU because he felt it was the best overall value, and he just really enjoyed his visits to the campus. Graduating with zero debt is a wonderful thing, but he got so much more than that, including a co-op job and an internship. Never went Greek, never lacked for friends or opportunities, had a great overall experience. Feel free to PM me if I can answer any specific questions.
