Wichita State Univeristy is one of the best Aerospace Engineering schools in the country.

Sowell always said that Harvey Mudd was one of the best schools in the country and 95% of the grads go on to advanced degrees.

One has to be smart enough.

Hillsdale and Grove City are two others to send your child to.

The service academies are in the top 25, including USNA (my alma mater) at #4. Did not come from a rich family, nor did any of my classmates. In fact, was accepted at Stanford, but didn’t want my parents to feel they had to pony up the then “awful” tuition of $5,000 per year. Today, it costs much more to go to almost any college or university to get a worthless arts degree.

Certainly there are exceptions especially at the Academies. My cousin sent both of his kids to Stanford and they were not that smart just beautiful and rich. He built about a third the sports arenas in the country and many of the prisons in California (the steel erection part anyway).

I know =one they missed that would likely end up in the mid-range. Capitol Technology University. My kid graduated from their as an astronautical engineer. Small school, no diversity office, no sports cabal. Very specialized engineering school.

He’s four years into a career and already into six figures. All of his college buddies are the same.

when I was a dermatology resident at Albany Medical Center, we had meetings several times a year with the Harvard derm residents and other derm residents in Boston. They were not any better or smarter than us.

The tuition cost, average four year total debt and monthly loan repayment costs should be included as well as offsets. This would make the service academies probably top four. But I suppose if a family is wealthy enough to send their kids there, the student loans either don’t exist or they don’t matter much.

I worked for 22 years at NEDH/BI/BIDMC and MGH. Don’t forget the bow ties.

People who are engineers and STEM graduates tend to be RATIONAL thinkers.
2 + 2 = 4
Math is your friend. It never lies.

Therefore, they tend to be results oriented and typically conservative.

Liberals are just the opposite. 2 + 2 = WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO EQUAL. Make up your own answer depending on how you FEEL.

It goes along with the whole LGBTQ+. I was born a guy. But I feel more like a girl now. But I may change back change back later depending how I feel then. It does not matter my chromosome make up.

> Not sure about now, but back in the day, MIT was a regular bastion of conservatism in a sea of Boston commies.

They’re all commies now. Moving up to satanism (which just had a big convention in Boston).

I did the 2020 Census and Cambridge/Kendall Square was one of my assignments. A lot of the apartments I was assigned were occupied by Chinese kids...most of whom refused to talk to me.

They were too busy filling out absentee ballots for Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona.

“Math is your friend. It never lies.”

Clearly you’ve never met a statistician.

How is Brookline doing?

I lived there (it was free, and I could walk to a good Shul) and rode my bike across the river most of the time.

Fun ride, excepting a part of Cambridge that was just across the river from Alston. Every couple of months, some black kids would chase me and try to beat me/steal my bike.

Brookline’s Brookline...how could the home of The Tank Commander himself be anything else?! . Lots of “Black Lives Matter” yard signs.

Don’t know if you’ve heard that several years ago the Town Council voted to ban gas and oil heating systems in all new construction.

On Cambridge...don’t know if you’ve ever heard of the Commonwealth Day School. If you haven’t google it if you have some free time. It’s a tale of the nation’s most beautiful people (including Julia Child and Laurence Tribe,among others) succeeding in driving innocent little black kids out of their elite neighborhood. The Harvard Crimson did a surprisingly good job covering it but IIRC the Boston Globe didn’t go near it.

The girls probably came from MIT. They were a class project
