If you’re looking for a good education, and some name recognition (especially in the Northeast), you really can’t beat it. The education I received here is way better than the one I got as a grad student at a well know liberal arts school. A few pluses: Troy is cheap to live in and the local atmosphere is starting to pick up to. Unless you’re an immature guy who is going to complain about the ratio at a tech school (ratios at ALL tech schools are bad) and ignore the fact that there are also two all female schools within 15 minutes, then don’t come.
