<p>I also posted this in the Pitt forum, but then I found this one so I am asking here as well...</p>
<p>My son got into Pitt with Full Tuition, NEU with 17K shcolarship and RIT with 13K scholarship.</p>
<p>I am not anicipating need based aid except for the Stafford loan.</p>
<p>NEU and RIT have co-op programs which he likes the idea of.</p>
<p>But my question is - are NEU or RIT worth 3x (at least) the amount of money I will have to pay at Pitt? Will he get a 3x better education? Get into better grad schools etc?</p>
<p>He is going to start as a Comp Sci major but who knows where he will end up, he is also interested in Physics so I could see a major/minor thing there.</p>
<p>He has visited all 3 schools. Loved the facilities at RIT but not the location. Liked NEU. Loved Pitt, the honors college and the location.</p>
<p>We are visiting Pitt again for Honors Day and to meet with the Comp Sci dean and see the facilities.</p>
<p>As of now he is 99% going to Pitt, has sent in his enrollment already but I would love to hear any feedback on this.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>No. Pitt is a better school than either of them. If he likes it, I would declare victory now.</p>
<p>PITT, is a great school if he got in he should go.</p>
<p>Thanks, that was our thought as well.</p>
<p>All very good schools, but Pitt is at least 1/3 as good.</p>
<p>I would agree with the above posters. I would probably choose Pitt over the other two even if cost were equal. Pitt has one thing neither of the other two have: awesome athletic teams (and, as a consequence, good school spirit); also, since he got a full ride, you know he’ll be able to stand out at Pitt, which will be extremely beneficial when it comes to finding research work, internships, jobs, whatever.</p>
<p>In my opinion, he made a great choice; don’t look back.</p>
<p>I would choose Pitt too. I would love to go to both Pitt and Clemson but I could only choose one haha</p>
<p>Thanks for all the input. Unless one of the schools we haven;t heard from comes in with an unexpected HUGE amount of money he has decided that Pitt it will be.</p>
<p>I agree, Pitt! Tell us what happens.</p>
<p>Go for Pitt…CMU is right down the road and sometimes they will share resources…you cannot beat it</p>
<p>I have heard that Pitt students can take classes at CMU. It is one of the things I want to check on when we go back the end of March,</p>
