<p>What are the pros and cons for Va Tech, Villanova and S. Carolina for engineering. My son loves science and math and is strongly considering engineering.</p>
<p>In State for Tech, honors and in state tuition for SC, 15K grant at Villanova?</p>
<p>I worry about Va Tech b/c of some people's negative experience with the huge "weed out" program with poor teachers who you cannot even understand. I've heard it's just "the strongest succeed". Tell me if what I hear, and don't know first hand, is wrong.</p>
<p>I want my son to have the best opportunity, and to me that is to good teachers and an opportunity to really learn. Thanks.</p>
<p>I am currently a part time student at Villanova but Im not in the Engineering school. As far as I can tell however from the people there, Villanova’s engineering is pretty okay with decent teachers and courses.</p>
<p>How much do you value the environment of the campus? Because for Villanova, the community and the campus are gorgeous although drinking is extremely common here (i.e. West Fest). Plus, the Fray are coming here tonight for a concert (Nova Fest).</p>
<p>caity,
Post this on the VT forum. My guess is you will get a good deal of pro-VT so ask very specific questions. I just posted a question about math intro classes which pertain to the engineering ‘weed-out’ process.
Pretty interesting answers.
Good Luck. Congratulations on the acceptances!!</p>
