<p>patahways and parent of triplets - my daughter was offered the same deal - except it included room and board - at UML. sounds like they are working hard to attract engineering students. ULowell always had a good reputation for engineering. Their offer made the school very attractive to her, plus there was a possibility of playing a sport there as well. Ultimately she went elsewhere and has no regrets. Her chosen school also has increased its support of coop programs for engineering as was Penn State. Seems to be a nice trend.</p>
