Yea... I totally have a similar story (but I'm sure you've all heard it)
When I was looking at schools last year, my criteria was pretty basic:
-in the northeast (no more than 6 hour drive)
-good engineering program
-good atmosphere
-and pre-established FIRST team
Some of you might be wondering why I wanted a pre-established team... well, there are a few reasons:
-freshman year is hectic enough, and I didn't want to risk having to juggle schoolwork and finding sponsers for a team... and getting bad grades because I was either too busy/stressed out over the annoying logistical issues (like money, workspace, people)
-yea, at the time I didn't feel ready to start a rookie (I only had 2 years of my own behind me), and I give 'thumbs up' to all you college students who have
-i'm more interested in mentoring and managing, so helping a pre-established team who were a little downtrodden at the time, was an ideal situation for me
-and now that I still dont have to worry about logistics (too much), I can focus my time on on other things like the Blitz! (gotta put that in... of course!)
well... thats my $.02
