<p>Thanks BeanTownGirl. Sounds like you in the Boston area. We are in Southern NH… Anyway, your S sounds a lot like mine. Those are the exact reasons my S was considering Lafayette. He really likes the campus there and really likes the engineering faculty. But his personality definitely fits in more with WPI. He loves to build things and stay up all night working on a project and just does not want to be in a school where the people around him don’t care about learning. He is a little worried that the rest of the student body at Lafayette may not be as dedicated. He had enough of that in high school…</p>
<p>He wants to do the same thing though - compare the course offerings. I think once he does that he will pick WPI as well. He just is a little taken back by the the smaller campus at WPI, feeling it is more congested, and the housing situation there. But everyone at WPI seems happy with their choice (we have visited both campuses several times…) and I think he would fit in very well. He is considering ME with a minor in Robotics (if he goes to WPI)…</p>
<p>Your S and my S should meet. They sound very similar : )</p>
