Anyone here familiar with Michigan Tech? |
|
Are there any MTU alumni here? Tell me about it. Would it make a good choice for graduate school in computer science?

1. Our elder son gets literature from there all the time. |

From what I can glean....it's in the middle of nowhere. Seriously, in a very remote part of the UP. It would take around 10 hours to drive there, at least....and get this........about 8 hours to fly there at a cost of around $400.
Subzero temps, 8 feet of snow.......eeks. I like Winter as much as the next Midwesterner...but it's pretty extreme up there.
I have no idea about studying there. Our son is interested in Mechanical Eng and his grades aren't quite up to snuff. I'm not sure why they keep sending him stuff.
:shrug:
How ya doin'? :hi:

and I'm not familiar with it's computer science program, but I know it has a good reputation in most engineering fields.
It's located in Houghton, MI, which as the other poster said, is a bit out of the way. It snows a lot and the town and student body is probably somewhat conservative (Houghton went for Bush by 56%).
