| Being a UF alum, I heard my mechanical friends gripe all the time about their professors, but let me tell you the electrical and computer engineering ones were fantastic for the most part. I took 1 or 2 mechanical classes and yeah those guys don't give 2 sh**s and accuse you of not going to class if you are asking questions in office hours.
If this is undergrad: Go to UF anyway. It's not worth breaking the bank. All ABET (engineering accreditation) schools generally teach the same thing anyway for undergrad and leave their cutting edge resources for grad.
As to the question implicitly stated as "will going to one of these schools close any doors to MIT?" No; I know people from each of those schools that are going to MIT for grad. |
