<p>I’m a parent and my girl doesn’t want to go far from home, as in ten minutes. </p>

<p>But aside from that which is most enriching experience and has best payback in career (these are her list, all fairly close to our home)?</p>

<p>Lehigh - Close to home.<br>
Cooper Union - NYC experience and challenging
U of Penn - IVY
Penn State Shreyers Honors College - Opportunities of large campus and room and board/free overseas service trips or DC interns in summers</p>

<p>1) Cooper Union
2) Penn
3) Lehigh
4) Penn State</p>

<p>Cooper Union has a difficult integrated engineering curriculum. It’s also tuition free. Good luck getting in as it accepts only 6% of applicants.</p>

<p>If D is interested in civil engineering, Penn has none.</p>

<p>Lehigh is an excellent engineering school. Though perhaps not comparable to Penn or Cooper Union, it would be a great choice especially if she doesn’t want to leave the area.</p>

<p>Lafayette would also be close to home and Bucknell is not too far away.
Not so close but great or very good engineering - Cornell, CMU, Case Western, U. Rochester, Union, RPI, Villanova. Could also consider - RIT, Syracuse, Binghamton</p>
