ME at Gonzaga or Colorado State?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>My son plans to major in mechanical engineering and is having a very difficult time deciding between Gonzaga or Colorado State. He's visited both campus' admitted student events and could see himself at either school. He received generous financial aid from Gonzaga, making the two schools COA very similar. He has friends and family who live in Spokane, but he isn't sure if that's the right reason to choose Gonzaga over Colorado State. We live in California, so both schools are OOS.</p>

<p>My son isn't normally indecisive, so this struggle has caught him by surprise. He's made a list of pros and cons, and it still wasn't enough to make a decision. </p>

<p>Input from any Zags or Rams or others familiar with either of the schools would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>If he can’t decide between the two based on campus maybe he should decide based on the intangibles. I have a Jesuit education and can atest to how different it is from non-catholic educations (I am not catholic). I won’t say it’s better or worse, just different. If he likes that maybe Gonzaga is a good fit. </p>

<p>I too have family in Spokane, but I would still pick Fort Collins over Spokane, if for no other reason but for the social scene and proximity to other major cities and things to do.</p>
