The real competition is Pitt, VTech, and UConn.
I’d go for VTech, personnally
- in part because UConn’s environment isn’t the best (Storrs) and UConn has nothing that VTech doesn’t have. VTech will be more respected by Engineers/Tech, offers a real, dynamic college town, and is out of state for you.
If you want to stay instate, Pitt is a no-brainer – but I’m of the opinion 18 is a great time to go and try new things, discover new parts of the country, so I’d vote for VTech.
Is there a big difference between the majors?
