For all those non-engineering majors
I go to Eckerd College in St Petersburg FL, student body of > 2000
I major in Marine Biology, my school doesn't even have an engineering program, and yes, i built the robot when I was in FIRST
I usually know a TA if I even have one.
If there is one thing I can say about choosing a school, go visit it, look at the academics AND the campus, there is a college out there for you
And to prove that you can't take the FIRST out of the kid;
I joined the only volentary college Search and Rescue Team in the country. They then discovered i have a mechanical aptitude, and since then I have been in the shop, and dirtier than ever before with oil and engine grease
