MI Tech
« on: February 09, 2010, 10:33:47 PM »
Alright Slim, I should be uo there next fall. I just got word that I got a full tuition AFROTC scholarship for any state school and MI tech is the only one I can get full room and board for also. So, that's where I will be going.

Good for you Walt.
Mich Tech is a fine engineering school.

Cept for the girl population.....or lack there of.
You certainly won't be distracted.

Send me a note about some parts for CVH

We will see. I am extremely excited about it. Also, I am newer to this forum, so I guess I kinda put this in the wrong place. If anyone wants to move it, please do.

Don't let Rick scare you (about men/women ratio, that is).  Yes, when I went to Tech in the late 60s there were about 18-20 men for each woman -- and some of those women were of questionable desirability.  I believe nowadays, though, that the ratio is very close to 1:1.  There must be one or two that'll meet your criteria for company during your stay in Hoton.

Geez, the Web Elf went there, just a year or two before Jon Wennerberg.  Yup, it was 19:1 back then.

My oldest girl went to Oregon State the year before last.  She was in class and I wandered about while I waited for her.  Into the engineering building I went.  There were more female engineering students than men based on what I saw.  Times change.

I am bringing my own girl. She's not what you would call a girlfriend however. More of a good friend. We take machining together, and she is a year ahead of me in drafting. She can break a piece of machinery with her thoughts from all the way across the shop.
