Just as an FYI, it would seem as though NESCAC schools have partnered with other universities to offer a dual degree which includes engineering. However it is a 5 or 6 year program

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes, it's usually a 3+2 program where students spend the first 3 years at a NESCAC school and then the last 2 years at an Ivy League or UAA school. The plus is that you walk away with two degrees, but the downside is that you only get to play 3 years of soccer (unless you are strong enough to walk on to a squad for a single year) and you have to pay for another year of school.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf you are playing division three soccer then you likely use the soccer to get into a better academic school. Therefore, I assume, that the academics is the higher priority. Whether or not you play three or four years of soccer probably doesn’t matter as much as getting a degree and a job.

I was just looking at the Massey ratings, and see they rate the UAA conference #1 in the US, and NESCAC #2.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFA is purely income based and you have to have a pretty low income to get decent money. Ivies have more generous need based aid but in the Northeast many families still make too much to qualify.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt is a sad state that college is so unaffordable for the middle class. We are in the same boat. Live paycheck to paycheck but make too much salary to get significant aide.
