<p>Va Tech is number 9 in the country for Civil in USNWR. Yes it’s possible to go to Pitt and be successful, but when you are looking for your first job, you will be more attractive to employers if you come from a top ranked university. If you plan to get a Masters, then a school like Pitt might make sense. However if a Bachelors is your terminal degree, it is better to go with the other two unless finances make the difference (you get scholarship from Pitt)</p>
