OSU definitely.
They are revamping their programs and it should be even better than ever when the quarter to semester change is completed. There are awesome faculty, facilities, and it really doesn’t feel that big. I came from a super small high school and I feel right at home in the OSU Engineering program. Plus, being from OSU has been great for finding internships (except last summer as a freshman, but that is to be expected… especially with the economy in its state), but this summer I was offered ~4 positions, partially thanks to the fact that OSU is so well respected.

The faculty is super helpful as well, and midway fall quarter they have ‘program visits’ where you can hear a talk from one of the top faculty members of each of the engineering disciplines, and that’s how as a freshman I met my current advisor.
The resources are definitely there if you want them.

The Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors (freshman engineering) is also excellent, but I’ve also heard great things about the scholars programs as well.

I’ve never had any professors that I couldn’t understand (maybe a few TAs, but OSU does a good job of having you comment on TAs at the end of the quarter, and one that I had was no longer a TA as ‘clarity of voice’ is one of the categories)
