Re: Colleges - Need aid!

Have you visited all the campuses? Have you tried to arrange for a night when you could sleep on the floor of a current student's dorm? These were the things that helped me best decide on a school, and it opened for an opportunity to talk to many students who attend there instead of just robotics people (my guess is that most 190 students are going to say that they like WPI).

I've been spending a few weekends at WPI and I'm not at all impressed with the night life (I go to school in Boston - big difference, Worcester is a "wannabe" little city that seems dull). Drexel would be my pick out of the list because I heard Philadelphia can be fun (the whole city wants to go wifi too) and a coop program is the absolute best thing you could participate in as an undergrad (my school, NU, is ranked #1 in coops but Drexel falls close behind... so I know from experience that being able to work at cool companies for 6 months at a time, and get paid for it, is really nice). In addition, I have a friend who chose Drexel over MIT and other top-notch schools. As for Widener? I didn't even know it existed.

p.s. For "staying on topic" reasons, could people stop trying to sell schools that this person didn't even apply to? The question is: Widener, Drexel, or WPI.
