<p>Congratulations on your son’s admittance to two top schools; you must be very proud!
My son is in Industrial Design so I can’t speak for Engineering classesb but you mentioned in your post that your son said that VT felt “more comfortable to him”, I think that when a student feels comfortable and enjoys the school he or she will be a better student.
Like Eng, ID is a very demanding program that requires a lot of time management. Aside from many hours studying, he manages to go to every home football and basketball game, works out everyday, and has met lots of new people.</p>
