Thanks for the replies!
@MaineLonghorn Wow, thanks for the information. I did not think about that. Would you mind telling me around when this was? I hope you’re doing well now!
@CU123 Thanks for the new perspective! I will probably major in Mechanical Engineering. Unfortunately, I will be out of state everywhere since I’m an american citizen living abroad. 
So after reading all this I was just wondering, are top colleges actually worth it if you want to study engineering since job prospects are going to be the same anyways?
