<p>I am applying to RPI but didnt want to do ed because of I know some people who did and didnt receive financial aid (dont know about their family finances though). I read online that they use a language based on java and was wondering about how similiar this language is to Java. I am also wondering how hard the courses are and what kind of teaching style they have. I went there this year and saw lector halls, and then smaller classes and didnt think to ask how big the different classes were. I will be either going in as a chemical/computer engineer or computer science if I am accepted. Also, are there any other colleges nearby to change the 4:1 ratio.</p>
<p>I'm not quite sure about your first question, but in regards to the ratio, there's an all-girl's school nearby. Though it's not like they're walking around the RPI campus.</p>
