Auburn just opened up a brand new Mechanical Engineering complex called the Shelby Center, and the new amenities are amazing. I would be surprised if Auburn doesn’t receive a bump in the rankings in the near future because of it, but even if it doesn’t, many businesses still recognize Auburn’s strong reputation for engineering.

Has your son visited each of these college campuses? As Pierre said, it might be best if he makes his choice based on which school he would enjoy life more at. Personally, I love it here at Auburn – people here are very friendly and laid back (although I’m sure it’s similar at Clemson).

Also, since you mentioned finances, are you an Alabama resident? Auburn is a bargain if you’re paying in-state tuition. Same goes for Clemson if you are a South Carolina resident.
