<p>SUNY BInghamton, SUNY Buffalo, Syracuse Univ?</p>
<p>S wants to stay in NY state ( rural)
other schools I am researching:</p>
<p>As top: Cornell, RPI</p>
<p>small privates: Alfred and Clarkson</p>
<p>Also: Univ of Rochester and RIT</p>
<p>Did I leave any good ones out?</p>
<p>How would you compare contrast or otherwise rate all or any of these?</p>
<p>thanks for your opinions</p>
<p>My son originally applied to Union and got a nice financial package without stellar top notch SATs They had a nice personal touch with their admissions process and asked for our thoughts regarding our son. Heard very good things about Union's engineering program, although I recall that they didn't (don't?) offer civil engineering which is why my son didn't re-apply as a transfer. Also, my son has a good friend at RIT- I'll get back here with some of his thoughts.</p>
<p>Rensselaer and Cornell are the best engineering schools in NY. Not sure what kind of civil program Columbia has but you may want to look.</p>
<p>would be interested in feedback on RIT. My D had researched it a bit for photography at one time.</p>
<p>where did your son decide to attend? Quinnipiac? Can't remember if you said he wanted to attend or not. Good Luck to both our kids this fall!</p>
<p>Luliztee- He will be attending Bucknell this Fall as a transfer. He's very excited about it. BTW- I think you may us confused with another- I'm pretty new to CC</p>
<p>For civ, SUNY-Buffalo's great, Cornell is fantastic, Cooper Union is fantastic, RPI is great.</p>
<p>The rest I'm not entirely sure about, I'm not as familiar with their programs. The ones I mentioned have far-reaching reputations in civ, though.</p>
<p>If anybody can find that post that I posted a while back that explained how to evaluate lesser-known civ undergraduate programs, could you post the link...? I can't for the life of me find it.... =</p>
