Thanks to “UnionAdmissions”… I’m a little bit confused - do you work for Union? (You mention that you are an ME, yet your name is UnionAdmissions)?

Can you tell me a little bit more about your 3 engineering groups and the SAE Baja team? My S is interested because he believes a small LAC has many advantages, however he has been given advice by his GC as well as others that a LAC typically will not offer the engineering experience that can best prepare him for a career in engineering. (State-of-the-art facilities, abundance of engineering professors, research opportunities, internships, etc… STEM clubs…) I believe a LAC will have some of these opportunities, for example an alum may offer an internship position to 1 student… as opposed to a large school where a large number of firms seek students. Thanks for your help.

Also - if you don’t mind… how would you say the social atmosphere is for engineering students? Do they tend to live together? Thank you.
