It's not a top engineering program like MIT, WPI, etc but I think it is a great school for the price. Unfortunately, they do not have Nuclear engineering. We have Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Electrical, Computer, Biomedical, and Environmental (I think that covers it). They have an individualized major program but I do not think it will get you too far if you want to do Nuclear engineering.

Not too much luck at the bar tonight (thanks to one of my drunk friends ). Oh well, heading back tomorrow; we'll see how it goes.

Thank a lot. Good luck to you, too. A few of my friends are going for mechanical engineering, seems like an interesting field, especially if you like math and physics.

Its a great field to go into if you like engineering, you get a wide background in college, so it opens alot of doors to different career paths. Compared to, say, a CivE, who 95% of the time ends up in construction.

But damn, pre-dental, with chem and physics sounds like quite the challenge!

It's not that bad, science has always kinda been my thing.

BTW, I met you at that meet in Mohegan Lake back in April. I was with my brother in his black WS6 that we parked next to your car. You said you were getting married soon. Hope that all went well.

Is it still considered "going back" to school if you live with your parents? Community College FTW!, and FTL at the same time. Mostly FTL now that I think of it.

School starts the day after labor day, and I'm yet another M.E. major.
