<p>Dude in terms of acedemic rigor? hands down WPI and this is not contestable. Honestly you need to have good motivation to keep up with the pace here. WPI weeds a lot of people out so if you think the methodology for teaching is for you than WPI should be your choice. WPI is known for engineering and the faculty here is very good although there is a huge presence of international professors but they are distinguished and offer a good global perspective on things. I personally love it here and think i made an awesome choice. WPI is not for everyone so i suggest you do some extensive research on your own. Good luck man.</p>
