my youngest son has now narrowed it down to 6 schools that he will apply to for the fall semester. He plans to study Mechanical Engineering. Now we are filling out the applications and praying. 🙏
#1. Stanford
#2. Cornell
#3. Dartmouth
#4. Taylor University
#5. Purdue University
#6. Montana State University
@xixiangdong his dream job would be NASA.
@sinbach yeah, that's a lofty goal. I havent been paying much attention lately but what comes to my mind is MIT or West Point
@sinbach worth checking out Stevens in Hoboken, NJ. Good luck! Doug Arndt
@ByDesign haha! no thank you. 😂 if you look at all the universities that my son is looking at - they are ALL in more rural areas - with the exception of Stanford - which is an wooded isolated area outside of silicon valley (which he has attended for a summer semester already last summer in a high school student program). I prefer my son not be anywhere near NYC or big progressive cities if possible.
@sinbach unfortunately so true! All the very best and keep up the great work!
@sinbach #6 is 4-5 hours from where I live. It a pretty area and the school isn't too liberal. It use to be very conservative but things there have really changed. The town painted rainbow colors on some of the crosswalks to show they "accept".........
My niece went to college there and made it out with her faith and values in tac
@sinbach Did he give LeTourneau any consideration?

@AaronRupp you will notice that all of our schools are in the north. cool zones. one of our primary needs from a school is that it not be as hot as hell. we would like to stay away from hell - both on earth and in eternity. love texas - just can't handle the heat. 🤣
@sinbach why not add Liberty University?
@Emmiewrgt Liberty was on a our list of 30 universities that we evaluated. We graded each engineering program on a scale from 1-100 based on several factors that we find important. On our personal list - Liberty did not make it into the top 6.
@sinbach im glad im finished with that stuff. What specific kind of job does he think he wants or who does he think he wants to work for?
