I’m wondering what folks outside of Michigan think of Michigan Tech. My S has been rejected by MIT and UChicago and is deferred at UMich COE (still waiting…), but he’s already in at Mich Tech with a decent scholarship, and I’m starting to think it’s really his kind of place. (I think he’d choose MTU’s Winter Carnival over a UMich football game every day of the week, for example.)
I’ve also heard several times on CC forums that for a student who wants to study CS, the school you go to matters less and less after a few years out of college. And I’ve heard that MTU has a surprisingly good turnout from tech companies at their job fairs.
Any thoughts on MTU as an underrated college for a kid who’s got stellar stats and wants to study CS or advanced math?
