<p>Both of these are great schools, but I find myself unable to choose between them. I love RPI's campus, but Troy just can't compare with NYC. I think Cooper has the better academic program, also their classes are smaller. RPI has better dorms and guarunteed housing for 4 years compared to Cooper only having dorms for one year. I would meet great people at both places but I think Cooper would motivate me more... the deadline is fast approaching and I'm still unsure so any input would be welcome.</p>
<p>Cooper Union by far. It has a better academic program, better location, better everything. Although Cooper only has dorms for one year, it doesn't affect how tight the school community is. Many people get apartments in the neighborhood so most people are close. Oh, and of course the 4 year full-tuition scholarship is hard to beat.</p>
