<p>LSU is probably the best choice for him, but if his parents are willing to pay for his school, then he should simply go to the school he likes best. Some Ivy programs are notoriously rigorous as well, so if he is considering any of those schools, then he should just as well consider Stanford or MIT.</p>
<p>I was just confused by one of your posts because of the top 10 on that engineering list 4 are private schools, a few are public state schools, and the rest are Ivies. There are only 8 ivy league schools though (or 10 I forget). If he’s going to stay in state though, LSU, ULL, or LA Tech are the only real schools to consider. </p>
<p>If he gets into SMU, likes the school, and can afford it, then he should definitely go. Some employees will prefer grads from certain institutions over others though, I’ve heard this to be case enough times to keep it in mind. </p>
<p>I’m finishing my A.S.at DCC, then I’ll be transferring to LSU.</p>
