@ucbalumnus Point taken. Steven’s came through with a better offer. RPI and WPI come to be close to identical for tuition.
@MaineLonghorn Wow, your dad sounds like he was extremely dedicated to his job. The band planning to play at his memorial service is a testament to the impact he had on that program.
TBH we were accepted into our state school, which is accredited, but our concern is the location as well as stunting his growth socially. Wouldn’t big cities like Boston and New York have more opportunities than a smaller, more sheltered city? Aren’t employers looking for an engineer more likely to look at a technical school over state? A very big percentage of his high school attends our state school. When we were visiting he felt like fit in at WPI, RPI and Colorado School of Mines…which we aren’t considering bc it’s a plane ride away. He wants a fresh start and I don’t think that’s possible if he goes to our state school.
