It seems as though that my parents have never been involved with school at all of my life. They could careless ad just don't really seem to want anything to do with it, or me. So I was thinking about college. And it seems as though my dad has decided for me that I will attend RIT. Right now I am in my junior year of highschool, but next year for my senior year I will be going to MCC(monroe community college). I want to know about other college that I can go to to major in mechanical engineering. I was thinking maybe Clarkson becuas eit is still instate and only 4 hours away and around the same price for tuition(+ rooming either dorm or apartment). Price doesn't really matter ebcause I would mostly be paying for it anyways so I will have student loans either way. I am open to other schools, so please just give me your honest opinion on RIT or Clarkson or another school.

Your situation sounds like mine my mom doesnt and hasnt cared about me and school...i dont have adivce on school's becuase mine is the complete opposite..my mom wants me to go to a california school a UC....but I want to go to RIT. And RIT has a bunch of engineering companies there and I want the same major. Although Clarkson has more robotics scholorship money(if your planning on applying), RIT has the location to get a job after school. I am a junior too and am in the same boat but personally I would go to RIT. You lucky its closer Clarkson and RIT I am 3,000 miles away from it. But I want to go to RIT because in 2004 my team 22 voluteered at the Rochester regional and I feel in love with RIT...but thats just me its different with different people but have fun deciding what college's to apply too.
