Re: College Decisions

Alright well I had the same problem a couple weeks back but I decided on RPI Computer and Systems engineering

For CoasterTux I have only seen RPI and WPI out of the schools that you are deciding between, Out of the two RPI ranks much better nationally and has a much better program for pure sciences (the schools engineering programs are much more competitive) I have a friend majoring in BioChem who is in his second year and already leading a research project that he will be presenting at a major conference in San Diego.

Because you want to go to Grad school I would say pick a school that you like the feel of and that is affordable.




Tom, NEU and RIT are both good schools, RIT would be much better if you decide to change to a different engineering major. NEU is a great all around school that has a history of graduating engineers that have experience with the business side of projects, this is key if you have any interest in management. NEU is in Boston which is one of the greatest college towns (cities) in the world. I would go and talk to students when you visit, they will be your best source of input. From personal opinion, I don't know any one in the NEU engineering program but every one I know at the school loves it. I was not to fond of RIT when I saw it.
