<p>My son currently has Drexel in his sights as his #1 choice but has RIT as a strong contender. I'm curious about the rigor of the Comp Sci program and also the reputation for Drexel's COOP program vs RITs.</p>
<p>Any biased or unbiased opinions welcome :).</p>

<p>I’m a Drexel alum and just got back from taking my son for a campus visit. But my daughter seriously considered RIT last spring. So I guess I’m both biased and unbiased.</p>
<p>Back in my day, the Drexel co-op office actively matched students and employers. From my visit last Saturday, the process has changed to more of a job-seeker website where all of the co-op jobs are visible and any student can apply to any position related to their field of study.</p>
<p>My perception from RIT was that the student had to put in some significant effort to find and secure their co-op job. But since my daughter chose not to attend RIT, I have no knowledge of the exact process. You’ll get better feedback from the RIT forum.</p>
<p>Personally, I can attest to Drexel’s co-op program and it was one of the top reasons I landed my first job out of school. My employer actively recruits Drexel grads so the reputation is still good.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Thanks Fauster. That helps a lot.</p>
