Traditional college experience?

Thanks for your input! My son would not be going to grad school. But he also likes being with the smartest kids possible so he can feel challenged and learn from them.

You raise a good point about the size. In fact that is a good question to ask about the Game Design programs at each. RPI has 25 Freshman in the program. RIT most likely has a lot more especially since it is ranked much higher for it. Neither program has many (1?) faculty who have actually worked in the industry so they are equal there.

I like RIT for the $20k lower price although we could swing RPI too although I may grumble a bit more. They gave him merit + grant= $27k at RPI.

I think RPI has a more traditional college feel to it. I like that but I don’t think my son had a strong opinion one way or the other.

Up to today I thought WPI was out as a contender and then they came back with a $7k higher grant today. (I am self-employed and I mis-estimated my income.) I really like that campus!
