<p>I need one or two of these schools on my list but they seem so similar I can't decide. What do you think?</p>
<p>I want to major in either international business/econ or biology/biochem/biomedical engineering (I know, two totally different options).
I lean toward the conservative end of the spectrum, want a good on-campus social life, but I'd prefer less of a focus on sororities/frats. I'm not interested in doing sports myself but I think it would be more fun if the school had good sports or was into sports.</p>
<p>Which school(s) do you think I should choose?</p>
<p>I can't speak to Lafayette's business and econ programs, but they do have a very strong and well respected engineering program in the primary areas of emphasis. Our DS is a senior engineering major and we are impressed with the amount of "hands-on" opportunities that began during his freshman year. His experience at Lafayette prepared him for a rewarding internship this past summer and employment upon graduation. Lafayette does not have a biomed engineering program, but several of the professors conduct research in biomedical related areas. Most engineering majors complete their undergraduate degree in 4 years.</p>
<p>The engineering programs at F&M and Dickinson are 3/2 programs with the first 3 years on their respective campus and the last 2 on the campus of a cooperating college/university. Biomedical engineering may be a possibility at some of the cooperating schools.</p>
<p>From what I've heard of from friends at these schools, F&M has a great program for biology and their students get decent placement in med school.</p>
