<p>In the long run, where would be the better school for my daughter who will major in engineering or physics… Southern Methodist or Univ.of the Pacific?
Thanks,
MJ</p>
<p>To be honest, I am not directly familiar with each of these schools. They are <em>relatively</em> similarly ranked, similarly sized, similarly priced, etc. To say which would be better in the long run? This involves more questions - where do you live (sometimes going to the “local” school is a help if one is going to stay in the area)? what has drawn her to these two schools? are you asking which will better help her professionally?</p>
<p>Give us some more info/insight and maybe we can help.</p>
<p>What type of engineering? SMU has a decent EE and CS along with a fairly unique Bio engineering in the EE department. They get good support from the Dallas semicondutor and software industry (TI, etc). I don’t know UOP.</p>
