College Discussion - View Single Post - Help! - which do you think is the best engineering program

elec486 · 04-03-2008, 05:27 PM

I recently got into Columbia, Cornell, Cooper Union, GaTech, and University of Florida (my state school).

Theres things I like and dislike about both, but I'm mainly looking for a strong engineering research program that will also give me interesting and meaningful non-technical courses, which makes me hesitate to attend GaTech or Cooper Union. Money is also a major factor.

I really like Columbia, but for Computer Engineering I feel that although it's good, it can't compare to Cornell Cooper or GaTech...and for the value, UF would be much cheaper than Columbia and give a similar engineering experience.

What are your thoughts?
