I grew up in Niskayuna, not far away. I attended a semester there and knew a lot of RPI students over the years (GE interns, high school friends, etc.).
GREAT engineering and technical college. When I looked at it in the early 1980's, it was just behind MIT, Cal Tech and Stanford. It was one of the first universities to split Computer Science from Electrical Engineering. Great professors and the Campus can be beautiful (old buildings).
But not a "well rounded" university. It has a good Greek scene if you are into Frats. And Troy is the pits. No further explanation needed.
You really need to LOVE Hockey. Union was the same way...I don't get it...
I was accepted VERY late to RPI. I did do a semester there, but that is a long story.
Long story short, I went to Union in Schenectady...
