They proposed calling it MIT - Missouri Institute of Technology, but didn't for the very reasons we're discussing here. There's already an MIT. I don't think there is another "S&T".
As for area of the state- yea, it's a borning drive from STL, but quick, only an hour. The plus side is that the living cost is cheap. I'm looking at buying a house here that would cost me 3 times as much in Massachusetts...
And the lack of women... everyone deals with that differently. Some study more. I just enlist the help of Jim, Jack, and their latino friend Jose all too often. That and blowing money at strip clubs. It's getting noticeably better around here now, with more young women interested in the fields along with the school having more people in non-engineering fields of study. There is a killer MBA program going on here.
