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!

Hmm, didn't know you were a Kettering Alum... learn something new.

Another anecdotal story about affording Kettering:

Scholarships are wonderful, between them and a chunk of my coop earnings I paid for Kettering with 0 student loans. There's also less fear of student loans having a fairly good chance of graduating with employment. I walked at Kettering with an employment offer already accepted. They paid to move me across the country 3 days later.

This was SLIGHTLY more recent than Mr Lim. My brother graduated in 2013 and has a similar story. So, basically, I'd say it's possible to make it affordable.

Art schools anyone? I went to Columbia College Chicago. It's great for film and media arts. Their television program is one of the best in the nation! If anyone is interested in film school let me know and I can talk to you about some of them.

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

As a Philadelphian, I honestly had no idea this school even existed. Nor can I find any info online.

[Rypsnort]

WPI seems to be a very popular school for FRC people.
My brother contributes to this trend.
