That makes sense RDJfan28, but it is still strange because Michigan’s international reputation is also very strong. Your country may be one of the few that does not appreciate Michigan. I would not worry too much about it though. Employers tend to have a broader appreciation of universities than lay people. Just because students at your school, or some parents, are more impressed with CMU does not mean employers will not respect your degree from Michigan.

As for size, Michigan’s CoE has approximately 10,000 students (6,500 undergraduate, and 3,500 graduate). CMU has 3,000 students (1,700 undergraduate and 1,300 graduate). But Michigan’s CoE has over 500 professors, compared to 200 at CMU. Class size at both universities will be roughly the same. Class size at all top engineering schools will be roughly the same, so I would not worry too much about class size.
