I wanted to also suggest looking into UAH. Like many others here, we learned so much about UAH and what it has to offer right here on CC. My son is now a freshman in Computer Science and loves it! Here is another link to check out too while you are researching schools. http://www.hsvchamber.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=102&Itemid=277 Huntsville is the #1 city for STEM graduates!
Thank you SOSConcern for your link.
We felt immediately at home on our first visit to UAH and Huntsville. Everyone is so friendly! We are from Northern Virginia and fly direct from Dulles to Huntsville in two hours for about $250 (the first time we found a rate for $200). Good luck in your college search! It’s such a fun time.
