<p>Currently, I’ve come down to these two schools.</p>
<p>I’m intending to major in Computer Science Robotics & artificial intelligence. </p>
<p>I know that both of these schools are great engineering schools, but for some reason, in usnews ranks, SEAS is not even ranked within 20th or something for computer engineering - I don’t know why. </p>
<p>I may change my major, but I’m mostly interested in physics related majors. </p>
<p>Which one would you recommend?</p>
<p>Since your are on the Duke board 
let me send a little info about AI@ Duke. Note, though, that Computer Science is a part of Trinity College; we do, however, have a large number of Pratt folks getting an Electrical and Computer Engineering degree who both dual-major in Computer Science and who take the robotics elective. Here goes:

Duke also was a part of the CMU team for the DARPA Grand Challenge.</p>
<p>The first-year Fundamentals of Electrical and Computer Engineering course, ECE 27, uses the Parallax “Board of Education Robot” (or BOEBot) as a primary platform for the end-of-semester [integrated</a> design challenge](<a href=“Page Not Found | Duke Pratt School of Engineering”>Page Not Found | Duke Pratt School of Engineering).</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>i’d definitely go with columbia, i’ve done some research myself and i’ve found they have the overall better program. Plus, it’s a much nicer place than duke environment wise. Go with columbia, it’s the better choice.</p>
<p>
Out of abject curiosity, what do you mean?</p>
