<p>Thank you so much for your response. I wasn’t aware that Rochester was constructing a new building for innovation. That’s really good news! I really think that I’ll benefit more from a practical education and that building can provide a lot more resources to gain that type of education. I really do love Rochester and it was my top choice, but now I’m deliberating so much, especially with NC State’s facilities (and even more improving): <a href=“http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/sites/default/files/files/pdfs/WelcomeBrochure-12-14.pdf[/url]”>http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/sites/default/files/files/pdfs/WelcomeBrochure-12-14.pdf</a>. </p>
<p>lilspike333, just out of curiosity, what is your current job now? Does it relate to mechanical engineering? I find that a lot of engineering alumni from Rochester branch off into various other professions because of the UR curriculum’s liberal arts influence. Also, what type of activities are there to do off-campus but not too far away or expensive? I recently met a Rochester student online and she/he is transferring to University of Miami (another school I’m considering), because she/he said that she/he felt trapped and “too cold” on UR’s campus. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
