I graduated in '74, and haven't been back to the 'tute since '89 or so...

Actually, Troy was VERY picturesque -- from a distance!
Up-close-and-personal, though, it left a lot to be desired... OTOH, it's
only a short drive to MANY great spots in the Northeast!

Oh, and for a bit more on-topic-ness, I got my Private ticket at Rensselaer
County AirPark back in '72...

I went to RPI for undergrad. Excellent engineering curriculum. As an
undergrad, I had the opportunity to work on research normally reserved for
grad students, including some NASA grant work.

I haven't been back to campus in a while, but you may want to visit. The
only real downside was the Troy, not the most picturesque village in the
Northeast...

Look at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. RPI is the oldest
engineering school in the US, and has a very good Aero program.
