On the day of move in, the first thing I did was sit down with financial aid, explained my situation (my dad had been injured my senior year) and frankly asked if financially it made sense for me to attend. Fast forward a bit and I start my 8th term in January. (YIKES! When did this happen!?) I'll be honest, I've had a few terms where I haven't been able to register for classes until the day of class because I've needed money from work term to pay off my previous term. But as it stands now, I've paid less than $7,000 out of pocket, and have no private loans, only federal.

There's something nice to be said about only being in class for 22 weeks and watching your friends complain about finals when you finished yours weeks and weeks ago. (If you're on A-section that is.) What did I do last night? Went swing dancing. What's everyone else doing? Finishing finals. I'm pretty sure I had more fun. =D
I am a Kettering grad, and have to say I was extremely satisfied with my experience there. This was especially true of the co-op program, which I genuinely believe to be one of the best in the world.

I was fortunate enough to receive substantial FIRST and academic scholarships, and had to pay only a minimal amount out of pocket for tuition. With co-op earnings, I actually made money during my 4 years at the school. More than enough to buy a car, start up my own company, and begin my life as an adult. All this while earning a degree and gaining real engineering experience at some of the world's best companies. At the end of the 4 years, I had a job all but guaranteed at my co-op, at better than a starting salary because of the existing co-op experience.

Kettering isn't for everyone. The first year attrition rate is pretty indicative of that. A lot of students can't handle the accelerated/compressed academic term, and long co-op hours. You don't have to be a genius, but you'd better learn how to consistently work hard. But if it's the right place for you, you can get an incredible experience there that few, if any, schools can match.

BTW, few young people know that Kettering University used to be GMI, which was General Motors' Engineering and Management Institute. It has a long and storied history as one of the world's best engineering institutions, with alumni who've done some incredible things.

Not bad for a school that probably has fewer students on campus than your high school. I think there were only 1200 in my section during my time there. In fact I still keep in touch with some of my professors!

Re: FIRST Class of 2014, Where are we going?

Is anyone else going to UCF in the fall? I feel like out of the roughly 3,638 (last year's number) incoming freshmen, odds are that there are a few FIRST participants, but between here and the Facebook group, I think that I have maybe found one other person.
