<p>What would you consider better? A ranked school? The best school? At what point is “good” good enough? I’m always amazed by people who think the best college experience is the one at the “best” ranked college. As many people have said in this discussion, you need to take more than one factor (rank) into account. If all you’re going to do is go to the highest rank school you can, then yeah, don’t go to Pitt like MD Mom said. It’s clearly not for you, since you’re not interested in everything else we have to offer here.</p>
<p>I don’t want to sound bitter or rude, but as a very proud Pitt Engineering student, and as someone who has turned down top-10 engineering schools, I’m always trying to show people the benefits of attending a school they wouldn’t initially consider. And I’m always amazed at people who fail to open their eyes to the opportunities that can be provided at these “lesser” schools.</p>
