4) Very cool 3 month rotation schedule that lines up perfectly with the FIRST season (for B-section students) so I am not at school during the season freeing up all my time to mentor after work if I so chose.


At the end of the day, you have to go where you feel you fit best. I wish you the best of luck!

I agree on everything said, except for point 4.

4a. A section works just as well for mentoring/the FIRST season. Kickoff is the weekend before move in and Kettering hosts a kickoff event. We also have a district event on campus (Week 1 on competition, week 8 of class.) and trust me, it's really nice to roll out of bed walk maybe 30 yards outside and be at the event. Aaaaaand, we also host an off season event during A section. (10th week) There's plenty of teams in the area, as well as the team that Kettering sponsors.

This also means that Championships also falls during work term, and you can go without missing class.

9. You only spent 22 weeks a year on class. (Two 11 week terms.)

Yes, I'm on A section, which is vastly superior.* **


*Not really. Honestly, there isn't much difference between the two sections. But each section will say theirs is better.

** Kudos to any Kettering students who get the reference!



How about making a Google Doc with a list of what schools mentor which teams?
