Re: 2006 high school grads - final college decisions

I will be a member of the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering (wikipedia) Class of 2010.

It's a (relatively) unknown engineering school (although less so among FIRSTers), mostly because it is so new that it is only graduating its first class this year. There are a few other threads about it kicking around on CD if you do a search.

I fell in love with the school's amazing sense of community among students and professors. The small size of the school makes it basically a giant family, where everyone is willing to help each other out and professors get to know you extremely well. I don't think it's the perfect environment for everyone, but I think for someone like me it will be wonderful. The ability to guide my own education instead of falling into a track like I might in the larger, less personal, engineering programs at other schools is really nice.
