<p>Smart Dad… your son should call up PSU and ask to start at main campus. Since he was given money it appears they want him to come to Penn State. I bet he would be happier then. Or see if they have a spot at Altoona where the students live at school. Give it a try. It can’t hurt.</p>
<p>I know one bioengineering student at Drexel. She is on her second co op and both companies have already shown an interest in hiring her after she graduates. (This is a five year 3 co op program.) She had applied to 10 co ops and only got one offer and was lucky to get that. From what I hear many kids can’t get co op jobs. Your son needs to ask about that.</p>
<p>PSU is THE top school for recruiters.</p>

<p>I would never pay that much money for Drexel. disclaimer: son is PSU grad and yes he is employed in his field for good money…not $80,000 good but good money…</p>
