Congrats, @TV4caster!
Mine turned down several more “prestigious” schools for Bama Engineering last year and has no regrets whatsoever. He had a great first year (academically AND socially) and was offered a co-op that he will begin in two weeks. Prestige is nice, but I’ve found that in the South (where my son’s co-op is located), Bama engineering is plenty prestigious enough. (Never mind the help we got from other Bama families helping our son find housing on short notice. It was nothing short of astounding.) Roll Tide!
