Our youngest son has been accepted into both SUNY Maritime and Maine Maritime (MMA). Any past and present recommendations from those who have or are currently at either school?
He has been accepted at MMA for a Marine Engineering Technology (MET) major, and SUNY has accepted him as a Marine Engineer major. He says he would prefer to be sea-going with an eventual shore job, is super hands-on, and loves being on the water.. has had several USNCC (US Navy Sea Cadet Corp) sea-going training experiences from small boat ops, to working on a Liberty ship, to a week on the Harvey Gamage, a 2 masted schooner. He is thoroughly fascinated with Engineering and enjoys his Engineering class in high school, and although Math is pretty hard for him is getting A's in his PreCalc class with tutoring, hence the preference for the MET major over the Marine Engineering degree. SUNY does not have a similar BSc in MET.
Any suggestions or advice would be welcome, in particular from those who have attended either (or both) schools.
