<p>As a student entering the engineering school for MechE I was impressed with the school and for that reason made the decision. Vandy engineering is heeded better than say a U of colorado that is supposedly better; however it is really what you intend to get out of it. Really, a top 50 program should be relatively the same as another because of the standardized aspect of undergraduate engineering. However, I liked that at vandy</p>
<p>-more girls, 20 vs 30
-don’t segregate from the campus
-the engineering school doesn’t stand independent, but you are instead valued based upon the school and vandy is a good school with a very good engineering department
-classes can be large, but at the U of Col, mech E’s had classes up through junior year of 100+
-the social scene
-the campus comradely
-I am forgetting so much, but I am tired and will end this message now, sorry</p>
