<p>I can tell you that you will not get a 'college life' experience from RPI. And i do not know if these people would agree, but it is important to have a little fun in college. Rensselaer is kind of a dump.</p>
<p>I like WPI for its curriculum as well as the Worcester Consortium. WPI has a excellent placement record. Also, WPI's reputation is definetly NOT limited to Massachusetts.</p>
<p>Just for the record, Gellino wasn't using the latest information for SAT. Rensselaer's class of 2011 actually scored 1337:</p>
<p>Shirley</a> Ann Jackson, Ph.D.: Accomplishments Under The Rensselaer Plan</p>
<p>And Dr. Jackson has said that the class of 2012 is around 1340. The WPI class of 2011 scored 1284:</p>

<p>RPI also has a lot of new cutting edge educational and research facilities as a result of a $1.4 Billion capital campaign that is nearly complete. </p>
