Most here would agree with me(I hope) that the big 3 are RPI/MIT/Cal Tech, So lets compare, we know what RPI is. MIT = $52,507. Cal Tech = $50,709. The moral of the story is a world class engineering degree is not cheap !!! In fact if lugnut92's figure of $43,350 including R&B is correct RPI looks to me to be the bargin of the century !!!

Neither of those has an NCAA hockey team. :) (To be honest, RPI is not usually ranked in the top three engineering schools, although we are better than #26. ;) )

Today is 16 June 2012. There are 112 days (14 weeks) until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 6 October for the start of next season.

That is the day that an exhibition game is supposedly scheduled.

Tobe perfectly honest-i have seen those ratings also. Always wondered about the significance of the data they use to arrive at their rankings. I wonder what the list would look like if you just listed the average net income reported on the graduates federal income tax return for example at about 5-10 years post graduation? Rather simplistic-but certainly would be an interesting way to look at things. Maybe breaking the figures down according to major would be of further interest.:eek:

The $43k is without room and board. It is just tuition. R&B is another $11k on top, but I live off-campus.

I hate to total up what our room and board is now. But then again I am living quite a different lifestyle than back in the 1960's in the freshman dorm.;)

Was checking out some old game footage on youtube. I came across early second period action in the '74 ECAC first round... RPI gave up 3 UNH goals in about 1:40 :o ... Don Cutts... all the comments were extolling Cox/Hislop as magicians :mad: ... still, we won in OT, 8-7. ;) Yes, Rick Smith! :)

Listened on the radio. :)

Smith scored two goals in that game, IIRC his only two all year.

That is one of the few years that i missed multiple games-this being one of them. But remembered the write up about it. Just another one of those low scoring, defensive battles we used to have.;)

That was a rather strange game since UNH's gaolie was sick or injured (I forget which) and let in everything at the start. It's too bad that the only video of that game that has surfaced was a dominating part by the CHC line.

I also think that it is the video from the longest time back of RPI hockey that I have seen.

Since the link hasn't been posted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUEHAUJsKDE.

IIRC, Cap Raeder was suffering from an ear infection. He could hardly stand up straight.

But he insisted on starting the game.

Let it not be said that RPI failed to appreciate his sense of dedication. :)
