<p>You should look at the ME curriculum to see how many extra slots you would have. The difference is at UR, except for the writing class, your cluster choice and extra classes are entirely your choice. No required psych or soc class if you don’t want. The cluster is sort of a mini minor so all 3 classes revolve around what ever extra interest area you have. </p>
<p>I don’t know that double majoring is easy anywhere in engineering. It would be easier to do a major and a minor. Students majoring other areas are more able to double major especially if there is some overlap of required classes. </p>
<p>What makes UR unique is that they have the Take 5 program where you can take non engineering classes in the 5th year tuition free. So if you find you have a non-natural science interest you want to pursue like music or language or want to do a study abroad program, you can do so in your 5th year.</p>
