Being now in Potsdam is no reason to think that Clarkson should be ranked above RPI.jtwcornell91
I intended to go to Clarkson if I couldn't afford Cornell or MIT. In fact I expected I'd be going there until Cornell came through with a generous financial aid offer. I suppose that means my ranking of the schools I applied to was
1. Cornell
2. MIT
3. Clarkson
4. RPI
5. SUNY Binghamton
Clarkson and RPI both strike me as good regional tech/science schools, sort of like Harvey Mudd is in California.

You'd really rather be in Troy than in Potsdam?
(Actually, I'm in Potsdam myself right now, but a different Potsdam.)

I realize that you are in Potsdam (Brandenburg) now. That was the basis for my attempt at humor. Troy may be a dump, but I would rather be in the New York Capital District than in the North Country.jtwcornell91ursaminor

Far more important is the kid that comes OUT of the college and what the college contributes to that.
Clarkson does an excellent job of preparing its students for the working world. Feedback from companies who recruit Clarkson grads speaks volumes about that.

This conversation is as unimportant to everyone on a hockey board as it is irrelevant to Sasha going pro. Go to some geek corner of myspace or someonepleasenoticeme.com unless you are talking about hockey, preferrably Cornell hockey.

Oops, sorry, I misinterpreded the gerund in your original post to say you were in Potsdam (NY). At the time that I made the preferences above, I had never been to Germany, although I had heard of Potsdam thanks to the bits about Frederick the Great in Gödel, Escher. Bach.

Is it odd for me to feel slighted by the fact that USCHO's front page still lists McKee as Cornell's only early departure in a long list of off-season departures?

I've thought about emailing them about that, but I don't quite care enough. Besides, I kinda want to see if they'll ever notice.

Praise from companies that recruit there? That's like your mom saying that you're a good kid. Self selection...Rich S

jmh30Is that why they've won so many national championships?RichH
Remember...Clarkson is a "hockey factory." Clarkson is a "hockey factory." Clarkson is a "hockey factory."
And for those bored with summer postings, here is a quick trivia quiz:
In what hotel/motel/alumni club/etc. did the Clarkson team reside during the NCAA championships in their only undefeated season?

No, not at all.
Recruiting is a free market. Your Mom does not live in one.
Companies are free to do business (recruit) elsewhere, but they will choose to return year after year (ruling out economic constraints) if they've been pleased.
They are satisfied with what/ who they are recruiting.

Right...and I drew the distinction between Mom's situation and that of comapny recruiters who are free to go anywhere, i.e., his analogy was not a valid one.
