<p>we visited and applied at WPI, and others. My D was accepted at WPI, RPI, and about five others. We chose RPI - Rensselear Poly Tech - where my D is now and loves it. Their FYE program (freshman year experience) is rated tops in the country, and is available to the students for support, etc. You may want to consider that, depending on your D’s major. The individual attention is amazing, the support is outstanding (even support to us parents!!), and it is known nation/worldwide and recently ranked very high by US News and World Report - top 50 schools in the country. WPI was impressive but the individual attention, opportunities, and support at RPI sold us. Try visiting both. I know what a difficult decision it is. Good luck.</p>
