<p>My son has been accepted to the following 5 schools.
he is an average student interested in Mechanical Engineering.
We have visited each school but I would like to get the opinions of others.
We are mass residents.</p>
<p>Umass Dartmouth
URI
Central Conn State U
U of Southern Maine
u of New haven</p>
<p>i dont know much about any of those schools your son got into. but i would say just on recognition alone URI would be a great choice. my brothers best friend graduated from there, had a great time in college, and now has a good job in nyc two years later.</p>
<p>i'm quite familiar with every school on your list except for southern maine and i stronlgy say URI- by far the best quality of life compared to the rest of the list</p>
