One more vote for CSM if he's serious about engineering.
Since most of the positives have already been addressed (free beer anyone?), I'll hit a couple negatives:
-guys/girls ratio still 3/1, and only gets worse as you progress through the program (unless you're in metallurgy)
-turns most people into alcoholics
-tuition going up to pay for what I consider useless fluff (e.g. new student rec center, not new classrooms/dorms/profs)
Does this mean they actually want some broads in their classes for a change? :)Quote:

You could literally explore that state your entire life and not discover all the trails and areas there are to discover. If you are looking to party--it's there. If you're looking for a quieter, more personal experience--it's there. I found my class sizes to be more than reasonable and my teachers always available. I have a few friends attending the engineering program there and they seem pretty happy with it. Also not to plug the frat boy thing, but I was in a fraternity packed with intelligent, ski-bum, chill ass people, and made some great lifelong friends there. None of whom were jock, rapist racist assholes, as the sterotype tends to portray. Anyway, good luck with the search, but I just wanted to plug my school a little--definitely the most fun, rewarding experience I ever had.
