Re: 2015/16 College Help Thread
I'm Brian, and I'm a freshman studying computer science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
It's a great school with great students and a great name, especially among employers. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Boeing have had recruiting events and tech talks during my brief time here so far. My classmates are really bright, talented people. I've met so many FIRST alums from countless different teams.
RPI students mentor two FRC teams: 2791 (who I have been working with) and 20. There are also a number of other teams within easy driving distance. RPI hosts the Tech Valley Regional, which draws local teams and some from out-of-state (including 195, 303, and 1923 last year, and possibly 359 next year). There's also the RPI Center for Initiatives in Pre-College Education who run many STEM outreach activities for young people, including FLL mentoring.
I love RPI and would be happy to answer any questions about the school!
