Tufts, Penn State or Illinois for engineering?

@cosmicfish–“real campus feel” means not Boston University or NYU.

I personally think he would do better in a place that was more hands-on early on. I also like the fact that Tufts has a negative attrition rate for its engineering program. I want his school (no matter how much or little we pay) to make sure he doesn’t fall through the cracks. On the other hand, he likes the big toys at the big schools.

Ugggghhhhh. We all just want the best for our kids, right? It’s so hard to competently advise him on this. Engineering is way way way out of our experience.
