Re: Biomedical/Prosthetic Engineering
I was floored by the quality of RPI's programs when I visited, but one thing that I absolutely hated was the demographics there. Yea its RPI and there's bound to be "nerdy" kids, but it wasn't right for me in terms of social activity on campus. Male:Female ratio is a bummer, but luckily there's an all girls school close by.
Keep in mind what type of social setting you want in college and visit for a full weekend if you can. I did this for RPI and I realized I would love the course work, but I probably wouldn't fit into the campus life all that well. (Then again, we hung out with freshmen...what'd they know anyway right?) On the other hand there's schools like U Illinois that are awesome in the academic and social setting (being a Big 10 helps). Same goes for Penn State, Lehigh, etc.
