<p>Hi mimimenglee, </p>
<p>I’m currently a physics student at Bryn Mawr, and I’m taking an engineering class at Swarthmore. First off, congratulations on your acceptance to those programs! I’m sure you’ll have a great time wherever you end up.</p>
<p>As far as choosing between UCSD and Bryn Mawr, there’s definitely a lot of things to consider. When I was choosing a college, I seriously considered an engineering school, but ultimately I didn’t feel prepared to commit to engineering that early. Through taking this course at Swarthmore I’ve now decided I no longer want to go into engineering, so I’m extremely glad I decided to not go to an engineering school. That’s one advantage of a LAC, that you can try out different subjects before choosing a field, but something that doesn’t necessarily apply to you if you know you want to go into engineering. </p>
<p>As far as jobs go, there is definitely a large call for engineers, but if I were you I wouldn’t worry about that too much. If you have a degree from a reputable college, you should be fine. Remember, it’s not just the degree you have, it’s also the connections you make and the people you meet, and you’d be surprised where life can take you.</p>
<p>Anyway, I hope that helps! Good luck choosing!</p>
