<p>I’m going into Computer Engineering, so that’s cool to hear about Viterbi. Grades are important to me, and I think I’ll succeed as long as it’s not a ridiculous achievement to get an A (got accepted to UMich where people laugh at you if you go into engineering expecting to get above a 3.0 GPA), because I’ll need decent grades to get into a decent graduate school or to be able to go to USC for grad.</p>
<p>Ok question about ranking. I’m comparing UMich and USC and on the USNews rankings, Viterbi ranks above UMich’s College of Engineering, but I looked at all individual fields of engineering, and USC wasn’t in the top 10 of any of them, while UMich held the #1 spot in Nuclear, #2 in industrial, as well as many other top 10 spots. How does this work?</p>
<p>How is the social scene for engineers? I know at UMich the engineering campus is forever away from everyone else, and engineers often end up living in their own world, granted I know it doesn’t have to be this way. Typical engineer, would you say is more focused on school work than other majors? </p>
<p>Also, something I really have no clue about but unrelated, is meal plans. How exactly does food work on campus?</p>
