<p>So basically, I’m a little undecided between Columbia and Caltech for electrical engineering. Right now, I’m leaning towards Columbia because I don’t know if I would like the small student body at Caltech and also I received designation as an Egleston Scholar at Columbia (10K stipend, individual faculty mentor, guaranteed internships, etc). However, I know Caltech is an amazing science school. Any input to help me solidify my decision? Would like to know the overall environment, level of science/engineering/research at both schools, job opportunities coming out, and how grad schools will perceive EE degrees from both schools. Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>Caltech is significantly stronger than Columbia for engineering and physical sciences. But, of course, not everyone would fit-in the Caltech ambiance.</p>
