Yes there is a lot of overlap between Kent and Akron, but Kent’s engineering is nearly nonexistent while Akron’s is pretty well developed. Those were my thoughts as well MOS1 but I hope they keep the costs in check if he goes there for 4 years. They do have the tuition guarantee but that does not apply to the OOS surcharge.
It’s good to hear that they are happy - our tour guides and design team members we talked to all seemed pretty satisfied.
