Quoted from iamabearsfan:OK, so my kid wants to be an EE or ME. He is considering UW Madison, Purdue, GT, U of I, and now added U of Min. He has been leaning towards Purdue. What would you say is a good reason to consider UW Madison? I always find asking alum of schools this question very informative. You get perspectives you don't get from visits and such.
Btw, good luck with the unveiling. It has been a blast to watch the progression of JJP. It really has changed the pinball industry.
The right answer is because that school has POSSIBLY the best game designer ever as an alum. Oh yeah, and some schlep up in Sartell, MN also!! Time will be the judge of @Hogbog's design skills. If the final JJP4 product lives up to the rumors/hype, then this might just be the start of a long and beautiful career! As for time... no need to wait, I can assure you TODAY that I'm a schlep!!
Last thought... as a Minnesotan for the last 26 years, I can assure you with 100% certainty that he should skip the UM. And I'm not from Wisconsin either, so my allegiances lie purely in the quality of the product and not state boundaries.
