Thanks. I probably inartfully worded the question by writing "smaller." Not only looking for small schools, just less widely recognized schools. My wife and I met at a university that until I was a senior in HS had never heard about, even though it is a highly ranked academic school on the west coast. Just don't want to overlook potential opportunities.UT Dallas has a great Engineering School. The school is not small though. D3
