College Preview Page

[T967]

For those of us seniors with a smaller budget, maybe we can share our college visits. Those seniors can get an Idea of where to spend their money to visit. I don't know if we should go and mention every little college in your state. Here's my two visiting expiriances:

Purdue: Unfortunantly I visited during a snow storm while construction was goin' on. The only negative is the fact that the resident halls are REALLY far from any classrooms. How ever they are very big rooms for a standard college room. Known for Exceptional engineering program! When I went though, all I got for reasons why I should go was that it had a good reputation, nothing else (no tour of facilities, didn't meat any teachers, no real numbers to speak of). Very cool football field! Good greek housing!

Iowa State: The best looking campus, period. If you want proof I'll send pictures. Not only that the engineering and agricultural programs are TOP notch. Engineering as a whole has a average starting salary for graduates of $48,000. They go out of their way to help you whether you are a high school student or returning to get a grad. degree. Tons of intermurals, (really there is an insane amount.) Home of the largest residence hall in the nation! (Friley) Not counting the West Point residence hall. Football team really bad.
