<p>Is ranking really important? </p>

<p>Engineering : 8th-CMU
12th-NWU</p>

<p>I am interested in engineering and have to decide either NWU or CMU. I already visited both schools and it made me much harder to make decision. I want to hear how these two schools compare with each other with regards to prestige, education, reputation, academics, social life, location, job opportunities etc, which one is the best overall?
CMU forum has their biased opinions to this thread.
What’s yours?
and If you are NWU student, are you happy with your choice?</p>

<p>The difference in engineering rankings is basically immaterial.</p>

<p>As for overall social life, campus, academic prestige, location, job opportunities, etc. - most would say that NU is better.</p>

<p>Having spent a lot of time on both campuses, I would have to concur.</p>

<p>I have a good friend at CMU and he likes he academic part, but he hates the fact that theres no social life and the majority is male</p>
