I second the whole art school thing, but I went for Industrial Design at SCAD, which I believe is also one of the best in the nation. Their machine shop would also make most FIRST-ers drool

I have applied and been contacted multiple times by Kettering. Do you have any suggestions to afford going to the school? I applied as a mechanical engineer.

http://www.kettering.edu/admissions/...d/scholarships

Here are two of Kettering's pages on expected cost and scholarships. The merit scholarship, which is automatically available for anyone who meets the academic requirements, can cover up to $15,500 per year, and there are other scholarships available directly from the school. After that, don't let the high price scare you quite as much, because remember that you'll be working six months a year (and getting better pay than just some fill-your-time college job), so you'll have more money available to put back into your tuition than you would at other schools. Overall, the price isn't as bad as it looks.

Yes.

In order:
-Scholarships/Grants
-Co-Op earnings
-Loans

Here is a post that details my experience at Kettering many years ago:

Some things may have changed since then, but I am sure a lot is still very much the same.

Cheers!

Accepted and attending Dartmouth College.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of past/present FIRSTers in the area though...if anyone else gets accepted/decides to attend either Dartmouth or a nearby school, let me know!
